I do not make a habit of going to the Emergency Department as we call it here in Australia but in this last week while on a short break (the first in years) I noticed that my foot, which had been a bit sore prior to my short break, was becoming progressively worse in that it was becoming more inflamed looking and swollen each day. So I took myself off to Emergency on a Saturday night. I was spoken to very courteously by the Triage Nurse. After sitting there for three hours and observing the wait time, I decided I needed a good night's sleep and I would try again the next morning if the foot was worse. It was indeed worse. Well, I just cannot believe how I was treated. I was basically told to go home to my own community and that I should not be attending an Emergency Room in a small rural community that was understaffed. I was not impressed. I am stewing over it. I think I will have to call the head of the hospital and make a complaint. Would you do the same?
