❤️ Why Chest Pain Gets You Seen Immediately

The one complaint that skips every queue, every time.

Why Chest Pain Gets Top Priority

  • When you report chest pain, we treat it as a potential **myocardial infarction**, or heart attack, until proven otherwise.
  • This condition occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked.
  • Because the heart relies on constant oxygen, every minute of delay increases the risk of permanent damage.
  • We triage this as an emergency to save your heart muscle.
