Which A&E?

    Hi all, I'm coughing up blood and other serious symptoms. I also have long-term chronic conditions but try to live a normal life as possible. I've called out of hours GP service and I know there is a strong possibility that I'll be send to A&E.

    Last time I was there - one of the big teaching hospitals in Dublin - I was on a chair for 24 hours, a trolley for another day and then admitted to the ward, which wasn't a proper cubicle and bed, it was almost the size of a kids bed, behind a door of a ward with no room for my personal belongings. At the time I didn't care, I was so sick I just went asleep despite other patients arguing on my behalf that it was a Health & Safety issue.

    Anyway, my main concern is that I don't have to go through that physical torture again but I'm not well at all and have been putting off the inevitable for a few days now.

    Can anyone suggest any A&E in Dublin area that isn't swamped at the moment or is that a stupid question. I intend going in the morning as from previous experience you are wasting your time going over a bank holiday weekend. I also have private healthcare but none of the treatment centres will treat me and always send me to public A&E.
