Sounds like the UK to me. Waits like this are not uncommon here in A&E when you are in a stable condition. The NHS has been underfunded for years and it is just getting worse.

Northern Ireland is particularly bad with the executive collapsing twice in 10 years.

It doesn't sound too different to Cymru despite having a relatively stable left-leaning government. Last time I was admitted to A&E, I was in there for about 14 hours. At least they fed me plenty of sandwiches :)

I didn't get anything except for a few biscuits the Dr gave me when I told her the last time she saw me before discharging me that I hadn't eaten anything for 24 hours. She actually said that could've been a good thing because of the cramps.
