Attended Friday as I had the symptoms of tonsillitis-I expressed my concern that last year it turned into strep throat and was really bad, even so the doctor said “it’s probably viral” , I explained again that I get tonsillitis at least once a year and it always ends up bacterial and severe but he wouldn’t prescribe me anything .
24 hours later I ended up at Louth urgent care centre as it was much worse, very swollen and clearly one side of my throat had a big abscess. Quinsy was diagnosed and I was immediately put on ten days antibiotics! The doc said the only reason she wasn’t admitting me to hospital was because my temp was ok. 48 hours later I am still in absolute agony and have sore ribs from coughing, razor blades feeling in my throat and a horrible headache.
The doctors really need to start being more proactive when people come in in genuine agony and not write everything off as a virus! Won’t be going back here ! The walk in centre were much friendlier and actually listened, and did a full examination !
"Delay in spotting the problem has caused me..."
