    What country was this? Just out of curiosity. I can’t tell from the way you write

      UK and Northern Ireland. Where we had our government collapse twice while there’s a plethora of issues in healthcare, education, economy and just about everything else a government is responsible for. We would’ve actually set the world record for the longest time without a government if we were recognized by the UN as a sovereign nation.

      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.

          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.
