4 hour wait at Linmed

On Sunday we took my little boy to the Linmed A&E rooms at 8.30pm as he had gastro. We were told it would be about an hour wait. we had no option but to wait. while we were waiting my son vomited twice and his temp increased. We got called through at 9.30pm BUT waited another hour til we saw the doctor. How can an A&E room haver one doctor?? How can little children wait 2 hours before they get medical attention? i find that disguisting and totally unacceptable. 2 hours makes a HUGE difference in their health. SAY IF HE DEHYRATED IN THAT TIME??? this is not the first time we have waited, about 1 month ago we were there with my daughter who is only 1 yrs old and we waited 1 1/2 hours!!! By that time her fever was back and she was getting worse and worse.By teh time we saw the doctor all the chemists had closed so we had to go all the way to Kempton to her medicine!!! We put the lives of our little ones in their hands and do they really care??? NO!
