Addenbrookes Hospital


Told to see GP to get help in A&E

Unable to breathe. Went to hospital. Rooms dirty. Bed dirty not changed between patients. Left 4 hours in A&E despite not being able to breathe. Only 3 people in A&E. After a couple of quick tests. Told I had to see GP to be referred for lung test urgently needed. On arrival was told I was going to respiratory unit but no one took me. I was less ignored despite struggling to breathe. No DR even spoke to me in 3 hours, too busy just looking at a computer screen.
