My cousin's left eye was very painful, so she asked me to accompany her to see the eye specialist. So we went. But it was closed, and it stated that we had to go over to the A&E Department. And so, we went.
We took temperature and went in and at the Registration counter, we paid. Then, we were given a file and asked to post at a tray. And so, she got called within 5 mins. Wow, super efficient!
They took her blood pressure and temperature again, asked what was the problem. Then we were asked to go out and wait at another zone. We waited for 1++ hours and her name was called. She said that the doctor told her he could not diagnosed what was the problem with her eye, have to transfer her to the eye specialist. So she came out and we waited and waited....
2 hours passed by....
Then she was called and went into the room. Less than 10 mins she was out! The doctor applied some sort of "magical eyedrop" in which she needs to wait for 30 mins before being called again. So, we waited again....
50 mins gone.....
She was called in and came out within 5 mins. Then, she was allowed to go home. We wasted 5 hours warming up a hospital's chair...

I wonder why they named such a place A&E Department...Oh yeah, A&E stands for Accident and Emergency.
