Called an advice line, I hadnt been well so wanted to know what would be best to do, they were really good on the phone asked a lot of questions and then advised me to go to A & E. They said they would send an ambulance but I told them there would be no need my husband would drive me.
At arriving at A & E it started to get busy very quickly, the staff were extremely efficient and caring. Considering how busy it was, I was seen rather quickly and was impressed with the service. The doctor gave me a full examination and I then took medication. I was just worried I was going away the next day with my daughter abroad, and thanks to the helpful advice from the phone service and A&E I felt reassured I would be ok; and I was.
I am still not 100% however I'm grateful for the efforts in which both services went to and would just like them to know I appreciate what they have done for me.
