I arrived in this hospital with sever pain in my chest & stomach taxi dropped me of got to see the nurse within 15 min did an heart trace all good said I had to wait to see a doc, no time asked for pain as it was really bad , refused . Waited 20 pain to the point unbearable, told receptionist who said go through doors tell the nurse, which I did, was bent double at this point being sick nurse give me a sick bowl told me to wait in another waiting area, where I was on my knees in my own sick people walking past me, this went on for 20 min, taken to a doc from this point things got very slowly better was on a ward by 6ish had a X-ray had a scan still not told what was wrong on pain relief except paracetamol, moved to a surgical ward still not told why, anyway all ended well once on a ward nurses were great helpful it's the bit in A&E i am very disappointed at
