[MichaelJH Heart Star]

You have raised this a few times now. The other day you rang 111 and they advised you to go to A&E. Did you go? You will not sort anything on line. Go - no excuses just go!

[blindfould in reply to MichaelJH]

I would ring for GP for an urgent appointment. If the receptionist is obstructive point out you were in A&E at the weekend. It is also worth giving the BHF nurses a call.

[blindfould in reply to MichaelJH]

CONTACTED nurse jane on BHF fb page no advice given

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to blindfould]

Besides an acute hospital with A&E I have a smaller one with an MRU (Minor Injuries Unit) a similar distance in the opposite direction. This is staffed by nurse practioners usually with a GP in the background. Do you have anything like this available? They do tend to have more time as less busy with serious emergencies.

[blindfould in reply to MichaelJH]

NO NOTHING IN WORCESTER LIKE THAT JUST GP SUGERY AND A AND E PULSE IS 67 RIGHT NOW STILL FLUTERS IN CHEST THOUGH

[Dolphin14 in reply to blindfould]

Sounds like poor care.

[blindfould in reply to Dolphin14]

[Dolphin14 in reply to blindfould]

How about your GP?

[blindfould in reply to Dolphin14]

[Maisiemay13 in reply to blindfould]

Ask for an emergency appointment I work in a surgery and we would ask GP for advice if no appointment available

[blindfould in reply to Maisiemay13]

HI THANKS GOT DR APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY FOR AN ECG

[Jebri in reply to blindfould]

Good luck and take care of yourself

[Prada47]

I sometimes struggle with some posts !! Why would you go on a forum when seeking urgent advice, when YOU suspect something is wrong with your Heart ??

Just a couple of Questions

How long did you wait in A & E to see someone

Did they give you an ECG

Did they give you a Discharge letter for your GP

Did anyone mention AF

Do you currently take any Medication for Heart Related or any other Ailment

Just trying to understand why in your opinion you have been treated poorly

Regards

Sounds like a 3 rd degree but not meant to.
