Middlemore Hospital Emergency Room

9 hour wait time in emergency, rude receptionist, disgusting levels of apathy from the staff. Oh the old lady's almost fallen of her seat for the 3rd time? Who cares just leave her there. The patients are more caring then the staff. I hope none ever has to come to this hospital, especially for something serious.

Although the wait was long the service and care we received were really good and efficient

The staff there are very hard working. They see some people at there worst but they continue to treat them and help fix those that injure themselves. The children go through A&E Dept but they are usually taken one a different pathway separate from the adults. The wait times here are horrific, but a lot of people are using A&E as their family doctors and gum up the works for items like getting boils lanced, colds, and other seasonal ailments. On the other hand, if you come in by Ambulance, you are seen pretty quickly. All in all, they are understaffed and overworked

Came here a few months ago because our little one who was 4 at the time was crying & screaming all night. Nurse told us we had to wait 10 hours for the doctor and we were NOT about to do that. Headed straight to StarShip ER room where we didn’t even wait 2 minutes. Turned out he had pneumonia in his left lung. We were then sent via ambulance to Middlemore children’s ward again, finally having some sort of treatment to heal our little boy. If you have an emergency and you are in the position where you can go to Starship, please do that. I guarantee you will not be waiting 10 hours for a doctor.

I think there is just the scam going on in the name of medical system. We are here with a baby who is 10 months old and we are waiting here in the room after the nurse checkup and we are told there is no doctor in the hospital so waiting hours is at least 4 hours because they will come up in the morning. Seriously? No doctors available and why it is called as emergency department and no doctor available for the kids. I feel sorry for 4 other families waiting for the doctors like us. Its just people giggling here and there in the hospital on the tax payers money. I think there is no1 doing any check about the medical system. There were times when everyone respected medical system, but now they have learned to muck around and closed their eyes on suffering people.nnStill waiting for the doctor. They should remove the term emergency from them. If they don’t have resources to heal people.
