Visited the PRH this morning at 6.00 am with an abscess in my thigh was told by a Chinese male nurse that it wasn't there problem and to go to my GP may seem irrelevant to a few people on here but just wondered what your views are.Had to wait 6 hours b4 I could get the proper treatment at my doctors

Not sure why you had to point out that the nurse was Chinese.
He was a nurse and I would suggest he made the call as he saw it.
That is no way having a pop at you and I hope the problem is now being treated.

Really? I never see A&E turn away drunks. Sorry If I come across uncaring but can't ever see A&E turning anyone away with something like that. Have you been in contact with the Argus? They'd love to run a story like that and expose the staff who turned you away.

what did the GP say? what causes an absess like that?
I guess we pay it for a wide range of health services which the public in turn should use responsibly.

Was that really called for? If his story is indeed true that he got turned away then that is truly shocking. I do wonder about our society sometimes.

Lets hope nothing like this happens to you then
Why would you go to the Argus? Where did you get your abscess treated in the end?

I don't see what going to the Argus will achieve?

Was the abscess either an accident or an emergency?
Yes. But if it did wouldn't I first call my GP or NHS Direct for advice. I guess you did that first and they advised you what to do.
I'm not medically trained but I have to say that doesn't look either an accident or an emergency hence why you should've gone to your GP in the first place.
