Last time I arrived by ambulance with lights aflashing I didn't see a doctor for nearly 3 hours, and until I went to a cubicle the ambulance staff had to stay with me to keep me stable, nurses chatting at the desk didn't even blink and eye when the ambulance paramedic was injecting me with adrenaline to keep my heart going.

When I went through resus 2010, I went straight in, this causes a build up at triage, because I there is build up due to emergencies.
Doctors can't be in two places at the same time.
We live at the junction of 2 motorways, and this doesn't help with regular daily accidents, in my opinion the M62 is as busy as the M5, this doesn't help.
I have said before I have spent 3 months in this hospital, but I have been in 2 others as well, and never had one complaint
