    I remember a few years ago when mrs PC was really ill and we had to go to A&E. Got there at 10pm or something like that and got home at midday next day. Nuts. Seemed full of people with bags of peas on their heads with slight bumps, and polish people with chest infections (who hadnt got a GP). And the police dragged in a few people kicking and screaming covered in blood - nice!
    It's a case of choosing your A&E wisely.

    Where I am there are major incident units and other A&Es.

    If you have a heart attack, stroke or break all your bones you go to a major incident unit. If you have an infection, bleeding or broken leg you go to the other A&E. If you are then deemed serious an ambulance will blue light you to a major incident unit.

    The government wants to close down the other A&Es in London but all it would mean is the less serious emergencies would end up very serious due to the longer wait.
