Sounds highly unpleasant, hope you are doing better than Tony is Dave.


Spent 6 hours in A&E yesterday myself. Had some odd symptoms, so unusually for me I went to the GP, who turned out to be a 17 year old Iraqi lad. After checking me over & seeing my blood pressure he said I was in danger of immanent death & to go straight to A&E. I wasn't going to go but stupidly let the wife read the letter the doctor had written.

After a very, very, long wait I got to see a 15 year old Indian doctor accompanied by a consultant. The consultant said I was fine & I left without being put on any medication despite having high blood pressure.

Last time I go to the bloody doctors & definitely the last time I tell the wife know what the doctor actually said
As per above, Paul, it did get a better as the day went on. Not quite right yet, though. Don't know if the medication used this time takes longer or if it wasn't effective, or if it was anything to do with the heat on Tuesday. We'll see what happens.

That sounds like a very scary episode, sprinkled with total incompetence. What a bunch of absolute twats. Your life in their hands, eh? Do you think it was heat related? How high was your blood pressure? How are you feeling now? I hope you're okay again now and don't have any more symptoms. Many of these muppets don't instill confidence, do they?
