It goes on a lot, I was once taken to Canterbury with chronic chest pains (after it taking the ambulance two hours to get to me because of a tail-back on the A20). At about 2 in the morning they declared that it was 'not a heart attack' and I should go home. They also told me that a taxi would only cost about £8 from Canterbury to Dover at that time of night. When I asked what the pain was I was advised to see my GP who could order more tests. That time I slept in the waiting room and Stewart Dimmock very kindly collected me in the morning.
Another time an ambulance was called at about 11pm because my eldest daughter, Honor, was having a violent allergic reaction to penicillin. We were rushed to Ashford where she was examined and given anti histamine. After an hour a nurse reappeared, examined her and said she was fine and we could go home, it was about 1:30 am. As the cash point in the hospital was not working I told her there was no way we could get home until the morning and so I would not be waking her up and getting her out of bed until then. I should add that it was a quiet night and there was nobody in the A&E and there were empty beds. After some debate which made it clear I was not changing my mind, the nurse disappeared for ten minutes then came back and said they had arranged transport.
