Rushed into hospital with chest pains

Story from nhs.uk

"Rushed into hospital with chest pains"

About: Southend Hospital / Accident and emergency

Was taken into a room in a&email with chest pains they did 2 ECG Scans and this doctor says I need to be in RESUS.

They were told it's to busy in there so I stayed in a little cubicle.

Another doctor came and gave me 5mg of oramorph whilst trying to get a cannula in me, when they did they wrote up for some I.V Morphine which never arrived after 2hrs then a nurse came and gave me an asprin and some blood thinners.

I said they ain't going to help improve in severe pain and the doctor wrote up for some I.V Morphine.

They said I'm not giving you that cos you have asked for it, so they went and got 2 security men to escort me outta hospital cos I took my cannula out if they weren't putting anything in it.
