Better to be in the waiting room waiting for a bed than awaiting a call to leave.

The first call saying don't leave till we confirm the room is empty caught me when I was ready to leave, but it takes me an hour & 2 buses to get there I said, wait, they said.

So I eventually arrived after staff had left for the day & it was mid morning the following day when I was finally hooked up (they had said I'd be hooked up at 7am when day staff arrived ... did I say our hospitals are understaffed?) & I sat around reading & knitting, waiting for the machine to blip, but nuffin' happened ...

They said stay overnight again until something happens, but I was booked in for 2 days & couldn't stay the extra night cos I had commitments on day 3, so I went home, which meant the test was inconclusive.

Had I been waiting in their waiting room ...
