"Admitted to A&E then seen by a cardiologist"

I was sent to A&E by my GP. I have to say that the care I received from the triage nurse, the nurses and doctors in A&E, the nurses and doctors on the ward that I was admitted too was really great. They were kind and caring and made me feel like I was in good hands. The ward I was initially admitted too was extremely busy but the nurse kept apologising that the nurse had not had time to admit me. The nurse was busy with other patients who needed more care than I did so this was completely understandable. When things calmed down they came to speak with me and sorted out all the paperwork and monitoring that I needed. The only complaint I have is towards the reception staff in A&E who failed to acknowledge me when I first arrived, disorientated and nervous as I have never had to go to hospital before. There are three windows and it is impossible to stand in a place that you can be seen by all three so I hovered where I could be seen by two of them. Not once did they acknowledge that I was there. I appreciate that they were busy but it takes no time at all to look up and smile at someone and even to mouth -be with you shortly. I have no issue in waiting and I appreciate that people are busy. When they did speak with me they were not particularly friendly and I felt like I was wasting time being there even though I had not come of my own volition but had been sent by my GP. I think your reception staff need extra training on caring for people in shock who might be disorientated that they are in A&E at all.
