"Masks should be asked to be worn in respiratory…"

About: County Hospital

I was admitted ? Heart attack ecg fine so was left in waiting room .It was Xmas eve waiting room had respiratory cases I had a mask on anyway .After ten was asked to move into the other a and e waiting room a very small room .Me being the only one without a respiratory problem and the only one wearing a mask .The patients had been talking how ill they were etc . I was in that small room for about an hour when I then spoke to a member of staff .I said making me sit with them I was not happy about .I was then told to sit in the corridor.That was the 24 th dec I have now been off work with there exact same symptoms since the 2 nd .i have had to cancel an operation i have waited for for over ten months .The staff I have no complaints about but the system of being in with patients that obviously were very ill .I like I say have now been to the drs several times which is dr time which could of been avoided as you can imagine I’m not happy . I could have ended up using a bed which you have shortages of .I could not of caught this anywhere else I’ve remained at home with my my chest pain which is a rota cuff problem —-this in all could of been avoided with common sense
