About: Samuel Johnson Community Hospital

What could be improved

I attended the samuel johnson out of hours service at the beginning of December last year whilst back home from university, after suffering from a sore throat that had gotten so painful I couldn't eat or drink. The nurse I saw on my first visit was rude and unhelpful telling me "it's just a simple sore throat. take paracetamol and rest". I had to return the next day after developing a fever, vomiting and being in agonising pain. After seeing the doctor on call, I was prescribed antibiotics for tonsilitus.

When I returned to university, I went to my usual doctor after developing a rash. I'd had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and actually had glandular fever.
