Was taken to a and e via ambulance with chest pains , was seen in about a 40 mins where I was seen by a nurse who took my bp and did a ecg and the then someone else came and took my bloods . I was then told to sit in a corridor on a hard metal chair and I would be seen . Someone came and took my boys again after about another 2 hours while still sat in a corridor . After being there 3 and half hours we was told the waiting time to see a doctor was 5 and half hour . I am disgusted at the fact that I have heart problems and had previous heart attacks that I was just left in a corridor with no checks or monitoring. I ended up leaving the hospital after the 3 and had hours without seeing a doctor as my pain was subsiding. When my wife spoke to the sister about this she just said well it is busy and I have a ward to run, there was no compassion towards us at all and I think the lack of care I received was disgusting the drunks were getting beds but someone with already heart problems was made to sit in a chair and with only blood pressure taken . Luckily my heart pain subsided and it was probably just my angina but I will get my results from my gp and go from there . I would never want to be taken to a md e again unless it was my last resort .i live 5 minutes from dewsbury hospital but can’t be taken there this is not pinderfields fault but think the way they have changes where a ambulance can take you is disgusting but if my wife had of taken me to dews I would have been seen and I would have probably had better treatment there as they have always checked me out properly and monitored me closely in the past . Just really unhappy with the treatment I received
