My girlfriend was very sick and still is. She was vomiting violently and has extremely bad panic attacks and also has a phobia off vomiting so you could imagine how she would be she was in alot off pain whilst throwing up and screaming her head off.
She passed out for about 30 seconds and came to screaming again, so I phoned 999 and told them what hapend and they said an ambulance will be there shortly. I asked how long and the woman told me half an hour to 40 minutes.
After an hour and 20 minuets off waiting I phoned back asking were is this ambulance, with my girlfriend screaming in pain in the background. She told me not to be angry with them and said it will be there soon and put the phone down on me.
After I eventually calmed her down I phoned them again as there had been 3 hours and asked if there was one still on its way. She said yes shouldn't be long and put the phone down on me again. I waited and waited till 6 in the morning and just gave up. I am very disappointed with their service and worried people in need are not getting the necessary help.
