Attended with severe abdominal and chest pain and vomiting blood. Took 1hr 15 to be seen by triage, at this point I was considering going to a different hospital. Finally was able to have an ecg and blood test done with a cannula put in. Saw a doctor who referred for X-Ray, which I had to take a wheelchair as I could barely walk. Once the tests had come back, the doctor then dismissed my case saying it was probably only a chest infection and let me go with some painkillers, not even looking into why I had been vomiting blood. As I arrived home and took my coat off, I realised that nobody had come to take my cannula out so had to remove it myself.
I have not been back since as the care I receive from other hospitals is so much better. There is a lot that could be improved here.
