Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter with the hope that the health minister will take a look at the St Ann's Bay Hospital. I am a person with disabilities who got sick on February 27, 2013 and went to the hospital at 11:07 pm.
The staff there did their best under very poor conditions. When I got to the Accident & Emergency Department, I saw patients lying on the ground, sitting in chairs, in wheelchairs, and lying on stretchers.
I sat in a wheelchair until I got through about 12:40 am. However, one 85-year-old lady also sat there in a wheelchair all night. Another lady with asthma told me she had been in a chair there for two days.
Some patients went to the Out Patients' Department to sleep on benches and chairs in order to return to the Accident & Emergency Department for medication the next morning.
