Refused hospital treatment

[gully07]

Yes. But if it did wouldn't I first call my GP or NHS Direct for advice. I guess you did that first and they advised you what to do.

Funny that went to drs Monday morning given anti biopics and was told that if the swelling didn't go down then either go back to them or visit a/e so after 2 days of constant pain hardly any sleep went up there 1st thing there you have it my sorry little story about a big spot

I'm sure that hans kray fan bloke will turn up soon and tell everyone who's right or wrong.

Not quite sure what your problem is petal, but since you asked, I'd say only the OP knows how painful / urgent it was.

There you go. You were right then.

That's either tongue in cheek or you're very dim.

How do you define life threatening? Last year a girl walks into A&E and complains about pains in her leg and told to go home. 4 days later she dies because of DVT like I had.

You shouldn't ever turn anyone away without given them a full assessment to make sure they are fully fit to leave A&E. And his case I'd have kept him there till I was 'Doctor/Nurse' sure he was fit enough to go home.

 

[gully07]

Did he seek an Ambulance? No, He walked in and as he pays his taxes then he's bloody well entitled to treatment.

Yeah a long bloody walk down rocky lane lol

On cue, as usual.

You never let me down, only yourself.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Is there a context to this?

Were they rammed with people?

Did they say you can wait, but it will be quicker/easier to see your GP?

Presumably the problem has been festering for a while.

Must admit on the other side of the coin ... when we were playing at Gillingham and playing Colchester 4-4 I think, when the 4th equaliser went in jumped up to celebrate foot landed on the edge of the terracing and turned my ankle .. left it 3-days still couldn't walk on it and ended up at AE ... fecking broke it in 3 places and the doctor went mental stating I should have called an ambulance and would probably need an operation ... Drove home with my son though from the game and just put some frozen peas on it

 

[fataddick]

Hope it's all sorted, but it might be worth going back to the hospital and demanding a chest scan for possible cardial barbarella.

Just as a precaution. You know what they say...

The NHS is under enormous strain and you rock up with something that is neither an accident nor an emergency. My view? This thread is pointless.

 

[Quinney]

There are signs up at A&E departments asking the simple question- is it an emergency or has it happened in the last 24 hours? If not go to your GP. It's not difficult. A&E waiting rooms are full of people who should be at the GP's surgery, failing that there are walk in centres available.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the millions of immigrants would it? You know the ones who owe the country £200 million then disappear without paying while Gully pays his taxes and gets turned away.

Bloody stupid tax payers.

So in the event that this happens to you what would you do after suffering for 5 days oh yeah I'm pretty dam sure you would go to the 1st place that is open and available to ease the pain that your in

I'm not sure paying taxes technically entitles you to treatment in A & E ?

Don't know what I'd do in the situation above though. Probably Doctors first I guess.

I ended up in A&E recently. Long story but it was the only option. My God, under strain is an under statement.

It is creaking.

On the subject of immigrants and Chinese doctors. Made me chuckle but most point out that's the ffing relevance.

The reason I laughed is that a relative of mine had their surname mistyped in A&E. Mistyped in a hands on keyboard type way which had little relevance to their real name.

Mistyped in a way that made them sound Chinese.

The hospital have been chasing hard for payment for National Health service treatment. Got out sorted now, but I take this story about missing millions with a huge pinch of salt. From their direct and quite experience, if a hospital thinks you owe them money they come after you.

The root cause is your Dr then for their clearly incorrect A&E advice, why is your ire not with them?

I'm speechless.

Tbf we have all probably been in the situation where you go to the GP and they send you to A&E, and similarly, where we have gone to A&E and they have redirected you to the GP. The majority of us haven't been to medical school, and are unjustly bollocked for choosing the wrong option, due to our lack of medical training
