I came into the emergency area but the receptionis...

I came into the emergency area but the receptionist didn't speak any english whatsoever. She called someone to come speak to me and the guy could also barely speak English. I told them about my sudden chest pains and feeling like i constantly wanted to faint. It was hard to communicate and meanwhile the female receptionist kept laughing at our attempts to communicate, it was very strange. They didn't seem to take me serious. They then said they cannot help me unless I bring in my passport (i am not french, just in the city taking a class for a few months). This was an emergency and they actually refused to treat me and told me to go back home (after i just walked 20 minutes with very little energy) and get my passport. Unbelievable. I've travelled to many places in the world but this was worse treatment than a developing country and the hospital looked it as well. Disgusting, rude, staff, that could have cost me my life.
