Hi, My husband has stage 4 Oesophageal cancer, diagnosed early 2023. He is on immuno therapy which so far is helping, but the last week he has been having high temps with recommendations to visit ED. Today we did visit ED, and we walked out. I know there are long waits in ED, but we arrived 8:45 and went through triage fairly quickly. We were called through to see a Dr at about 10am and left at 12:30 and not one doctor came to see us. Everyone who came after us were visited by a doctor, and it was like we were the lowest priority. We were patient and not complaining, and were told there were other emergencies. My husband was very uncomfortable on the beds, could not eat and felt he would be better off at home. I don't understand the hospital system anymore, I feel those that complain get a higher priority which makes me feel really sad and undervalued.
