I have a heart condition and experienced chest pain I used my GTN spray but was still experiencing some pain. I phoned 999 and was helped by a very compassionate operator who informed me that the ambulance could be between 55mins and a hour and half! The ambulance arrived within 20 mins and the two paramedics were excellent! I have forgotten their names but are based at Fraserburgh depot. We arrived at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and were ushered straight to ward 101. I was assessed by the staff and doctors and after 5 hours of sympathetic caring I was allowed home as the pain was diagnosed as muscular and not a MI.
