"Presented to Emergency with bad chest pains"

After waking to extreme chest pain I presented to Emergency Department (ED) to find 1 triage nurse. After approaching the clerk's window, and explaining I had bad chest pains and found it hard to breathe I was told to sit on the red chairs. I really couldn’t believe this considering my complaint to chest pain.

Once seated I was having more trouble breathing which prompted me to approach the triage nurse, who, I believe was busy with another patient and I was told, I’ll be with you soon.  

Once I finally was seen by a passing triage nurse I was finally taken into emergency.

Once in emergency it was apparent, in my opinion, that there was no real urgency to make a prognosis in a hurry but instead ask questions such as my name and date of birth, which I just provided.

Once we finally got past this stage the testing started, the pain was so intense I was provided pain relief on several occasions, which I felt wasn’t working. After a few hours still with sharp chest pains and after scans I was provided with another pain relief which may have work, but I believe it knocked me out. 

I was then moved to emergency short stay, to sleep off the pain relief, once awake I was informed there was no life-threatening issues and nothing else could be done. Still in pain, I was served a meal, and approached by the senior nurse and asked if it tasted like s***. 

Fast forward a couple more hours I tried to stand and walk around only to feel more pain so I decided to head back to the bed. The pain was not going away so I rang the bell for assistance. After the second ringing for assistance, I was told my nurse was on a break. I then complained again regarding my pain and was told there was nothing more they could do as it was not life-threatening. My spouse who thought that this was absolutely ridiculous that a person in pain could not be helped in a hospital, decided we leave immediately and seek proper medical attention.
