I'm glad that you had a better A&E experience than me! The receptionist must have been a temp or something the night I went in. Sitting there in the waiting room was one of the scariest experiences of my life, I was just convinced I was going to die before they saw me. Normally my asthma attacks ease a little once I see the blue flashing lights of the ambulance or once I get to the hospital because I know they're going to sort me out and I stop panicking (for those of you who don't have asthma, panicking just makes it so much worse but it's bloody hard not to panic when you can't breath). When I was sat there in the waiting room I just got more and more panicky once it became apparent that I wasn't going to see the triage nurse until everyone else in the waiting room had their turn first

Damn right about the panic
However the more you think about the effects of it the more you are likely to panic! Glad you got through it, here's hoping that mistake wasn't made another time.
