WHILE I feel sorry for the lady with the spider bites (Evening News, June 20), I do wonder why she felt it necessary to go the A&E and not to her local GP.
The bite was more than 24 hours old and was hardly in need of emergency treatment.
People like her clog up the department and make people with real emergencies have to sit and wait.
