I attended Peterhead MIU with chest pain (severe, was in tears) in the early evening. On arrival, doors were open, so I entered the department. I was quickly met by a nurse. I explained my chest infection - had 1 week of antibiotics, on 2nd week and whenever I took got chest pain/upper abdominal pain after, severe in nature. I was told to go home and phone 111. The department was not busy
Instead, I stayed in the department (although locked outside by double doors) as I didn't want an ambulance sent for pain - as happened previously
Attitude from nurse was awful and made me feel so upset. Not once did she check on me, knowing I was outside doors, in case condition worsened.
