Yeah should have got doctors appointment and gone from there
He had a GP appointment booked for Wednesday according to the vlog.
Then he made the fatal mistake of consulting Dr Google and ended up worrying the
tit out of himself.
He called 111 and they rang back saying they'd booked an appointment for him athe Urgent Care Centre at the hospital. He went to that and the person he saw was a bit baffled - thought it could be gallstones, kidney stones or appendix. Talk about covering your options with a non-diagnosis! I reckon it was one of the cleaners pretending to be a medic in their tea break. Anyway, they told him to go to A&E for bloods, scans etc. so that's how he ended up there.
I agree, can't understand why they called 111, it wasn't an emergency
111 is for non-emergency concerns, 999 is the emergency number.
I work alongside some of the 111 doctors and they get some bizarre calls. Today it was someone with sore ears - turned out they had them pierced yesterday. Fuckwits, fuckwits everywhere.
