"felt like I was 'in the way'"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

Attended a+e numerous times within 2 weeks suffering from chest pain after being diagnosed previously with a circulation disorder.

Staff were rude and dismissive. I was upset and shaken. At one point I tried to make conversation with one nurse who was taking my BP and she was very rude in response.

The dr was not clear about the tests being ordered, or even what was going to happen next.

At many points throughout I felt in the way at a time when I felt very vulnerable.
