Reposted by Lizzie JonesMatt Green @mattgreencomedy.com · 04/12/2024Had to take someone to hospital yesterday (just a scare - all fine now) They told us it was a 4 hour wait to be seen but also that you’re not allowed to leave in case they can see you earlier - if you miss your slot you won’t get another chance. But also there was very limited waiting space. 1011112
