"My experience of being admitted to Lincoln county hospital"

I’ve had chest pains on & off for sometime, I tried to get to see my own GP but due to the announcement on the recorded message ( we have a staff shortage at this time please try later) I tried later and on the following day to no avail. On the Wednesday I felt worse with stronger chest pains, at which point I phoned 111 and explained my symptoms, I was told to rest and they would send an ambulance which arrived within 15 minutes. I was fully examined and told I would need to go to hospital, excellent service. The downfall came as my previous text comments when I arrived at Lincoln A&E.

Once I arrived on the short stay cardiac ward things improved dramatically with the excellent care by all the nurses on the ward. I was improving up until Friday when I had another very severe chest pains once again the nurses gave excellent care and did so all the following week. My worst experience was total lack of sleep by all the noise from other sick patients shouting out in the night to some of the night nurses talking loudly. 

Overall an experience I would not like to have again, as once they have you it’s a job to escape, it takes hours to get in and hours to get out, but thankfully I’m still alive to tell the tale, so a big thank you to all concerned look forward to my further recovery at home.
