For the last few days, I have had pain in my left leg and noticed some swelling was appearing. With not long coming back from holiday I was concerned about this.
Finally the pain that was much that I went to our urgent care centre for help and advice.
I was seen by a triage nurse quite quickly, but then had a 2 hours wait for a doctor, which was a complete waste of time, as he didn’t really look at my leg and I was told to go to A&E, after seeing him for less than a minute. It does make me wander what they can treat here.
So I drove over to the A&E, this was mid-afternoon, but could not find anywhere to park. In the end I decided to drive back home and get Claire to come and if we couldn’t park, at least she could drop me off and come back later.
This time we were able to park, after checking in, again saw the triage nurse quite quickly, though she wasn’t impressive with the service I had at the urgent care and marked me urgent.
Though I was still there for 4 hours. Once I saw a doctor and they looked at my leg, they said they would refer me to the anticoagulant team and should hear from them tomorrow. I was given anti biotic and blood thinner tablet.
We finally got home, just after 9pm.
