"Left for 2.5 hours"

everytime I have been in Lincoln county hospital Ive been left with angina on a trolley unmonitored and not seen for hours on end - once 4 hours until the angina was so bad that they took me in a resus type room and gave me morhphine iv . It really isnt good enough, Once I was admitted overnight when I developed angina at the cinema in Lincoln. They couldnt get hold of my grantham notes and gave me paracetamol.... yes paracetamol only for angina. I hadnt got my meds with me and they wouldnt believe as I was only 45 ish that I had angina. I offered to discharge myself so I could go home at 0300 and get my meds. In the end I was discharged with no actual angina meds given at all. I suffer with pritzmetals angina , coronary artery spasm and svt. This was diagnosed by a professor under ergonovine challenge test at Glenfield hospital. It really would be nice if doctors thought outside the box a little and believed what the patients are telling them. I dont take nitrates for my own gratification - they give me appalling headaches. If I was in this situation again I would drive myself to another hospital....preferably grantham if it was open.

I think the fact they are shut at night makes them busier in the day and heart patients like me are losing out to people attending with coughs and colds (the staff told me they had been busy with these ) . Can they not be sent to the walk in doctors just down the corridor?
