"Deeply Dissapointed"

About: Princess of Wales Hospital

My partner visited the walk-in centre on Monday due to a bite on her leg. It looked like a spider bite to me, but the nurse/doctor that saw her fobbed her off with a "just take some anti-histamine.

Thursday night she is taken into hospital as her leg is infected and we are not sure how bad yet, due to a spider bite. The person who saw her did not even look intetested in what she was telling him. I am angered with the fact that this mis diagnosis has occurred due to someone not being bothered to get the whole story before making up their mind on the course of action
