My partner requested a muscle relaxant following a visit to an Osteopath. Firstly he spoke with someone from a different surgery who prescribed Diazepam without seeing him. His body swelled up so called 111 who prescribed Codeine also without seeing him and his body continued to swell and the pain got worse.
Finally I had to take him to A&E and after a 5 1/2 hour wait was admitted to a ward in Derriford with muscle breakdown. This has caused a high amount of protein in his kidneys and a clot on his liver and one in his leg. He has been in hospital since 30 July and still on a Saline drip.
Doctor surgeries and 111 Doctors need to start seeing patients before more people suffer or die due to lack of care in the NHS.
