About 2 years ago I started feeling some chest pains at night. I was just over 40 at the time. I phoned the NHS helpline, who had a paramedic at my house within 1 minute (literally) and she hooked me up to a portable ekg. She found nothing wrong but thought it was a good idea to go to hospital. She stayed with me till the ambulance arrived about 45 minutes later. Ambulance staff was brilliant, and everyone at the hospital too. I checked out about 3 hours later after free everything (x rays, blood tests, egg, etc). I know the NHS has some problems, but they were outstanding in all respects that night, and not havin to even think about the financial side was pretty good too.
