Nope you get no priority for arriving by ambulance - you get seen by the triage nurse and put in the queue like everyone else! Even if you are referred and accepted by a surgical/medical team on call at the hospital, you
still have to wait (I was accepted by the surgical team on call last week and still had a 6 hour wait in A&E)
The problem was that she couldn't drink, even small amounts of water/flat lemonade/dioralyte were not staying put!
She eventually got seen at the walk in at about 2 this afternoon, she was given 2 injections , 6 tablets and 12 sachets of Dioralyte!
He also said not to eat for another 3 days and then only potato soup!
The doctor said it's probably food poisoning but didn't request any 'samples' so there's no way of being sure - all I will say is avoid prawns in chinese restaurants if ever you are visiting Canvey Island!
