My time at the A&E department

"My time at the A&E department"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Accident and emergency Lincoln County Hospital / Cardiology

(as the patient),

I had a chest pain a week earlier, went to my GP and was described medicine for the high blood pressure and spray to be used under my tongue in case the pain persist and got appointment for a blood pressure monitor and was referred to the cardiac clinic and advised by my GP to go to the A&E if the pain came back and stayed more than 10 minutes after taking the spray.

Yesterday I had the chest pain and didn't go away even after I used the spray so I went to the A&E department at Lincoln county hospital. I told the receptionist about my pain. I was seen quickly by a doctor and had ECG and blood test and chest x ray done. And was prescribed a new Medicine to add to my prescription.

I'm really grateful to my GP and A&E staff for their kindness and professionalism
