I had been going to the doctor complaining of hearing weirdness for 6 months...    got antibiotic after antibiotic ,  no  useful help whatsoever..... it's when I went completely deaf  i said sod it and went to A&E

so No.... 


sudden dramatic changes like this,....    and waiting half a week for a GP's appointment,  who will most likely be sodding useless anyway?  and even the useful ones will give a referral that then takes 6 weeks to come thru..... 

nope....

yeah, you got a bit of a rash,   cough,  piles,  itching,   the GP generally the way forward...

sudden drastic symptoms.    like going blind in one eye,  or deaf in an ear,  or losing the feeling in an arm.....

A&E for referral onwards to appropriate specialist unit on an immediate basis.....

I probably should add, all things being well, the first port of call really should be a GP.

But currently, things most certainly are not "as described" by the Nhs.

piles

I don't know, I could happily have gone to A&E for the pain of those a couple of weeks ago.. 

(I jest, of course, I made an embarrassing trip to the GP instead!)

Simples, close down the entire NHS.

Oh ffs. Now you've done it.

I think A&E should do what the fire brigade are doing. If it's a none emergency then you pay, that should sort the wheat from the chaff

After recent events,I could be convinced of that point of view.
