Get directionsI visited Wairau ED with a severe back injury that left me unable to sit or stand. Despite explaining this, I was told to stand and wait for triage. I lay on a bench outside in the cold for nearly 2 hours before being seen. Staff at the front desk seemed unsympathetic, and the doctor was unable to diagnose the issue, sending me home with painkillers. I hope the hospital considers ways to better support patients in visible distress, especially those with mobility issues.
Begged them to take it slow with my dad as he just broke his hip. I gave them suggestions on how to get him into the stretcher easier and they did it in one of the hardest most painful ways possible as my dad screamed in pain. I managed to get my dad off the floor and into his own bed in far less pain so why couldn't trained professionals? I told them specifically to take it slow and careful yet they were rough and fast.
