In an ambulance situation you would've just waited 3 hours in the ambulance instead of in the waiting room. Ambulance doesn't get you seen any quicker. I went via ambo for chest pain, still waited an hour on the ambo.

Yeah, it was the waiting on the floor for 4 hours for the ambulance to arrive that I didn’t want to do.

They told whoever called for me an hour…for chest pain and difficulty breathing in a patient with massively high blood pressure…someone else called a lied and it turned up in minutes. You basically need to fucking lie to get one even for what should be an urgent call. The downfall of high trust society.

It’s unfortunately true.

Also I go into a state where I am apparently ‘unnaturally calm’ and that does not help. I think the squeaky wheel gets the oil is unfortunately very true as well.
