"Easter Sunday !!!"

About: Horton General Hospital / Accident and emergency

Having had chest pains for couple of weeks things got much worse on the evening of Easter Sunday

I got a cab to A & E

I was confused and in pain the receptionist was brilliant and to the point to get my information and passed quickly on to their colleagues

Waited only 20 minutes and seen by a nurse who assessed my situation followed by a doctor

So well looked after and told step by step what was happening and needed to be done

I was not in a good state being very concerned I was having a heart attack

After blood tests and pressure and other procedures taken on a number of occasions to look closely at the comparisons

As part of the plan I needed to take a bed in the ward awaiting further follow up tests hours later

Again so well looked after with everyone being so kind and reassuring

Also seeing the way the other, some much worse off patients were being treated with such kindness and knowledgeable service

Wonderful

After a trip to X-ray to have my chest looked at "luckily" it was found that I'd had a bad anxiety attack and with some great advice plus a couple of football observations

I was able to go home early on Monday morning

NHS Horton thank you
