My DD came screaming in from the garden, she has speared her eye with a bamboo cane. she was screaming and nearly vomiting.
Sat her down and in spite of the initial and unusual screams, shortly she seemed to recover, Within 40 mins she was running round again like nothing had happened, the eye, whilst v red and slightly swollen seemed OK. However being an eye I thought a doc should just shine his light on it - make sure all OK.
called out of hours. nothing its 111 now. call them. speak for ages.....long list of questions, get someone to call me back. about two hours later get a call back.
useless, can I see anything in the eye? ! No, I cant but that means jack shit.
I just thought a doc should take a look.
Can I get to A&E, no, not with EBF baby and her. She doesn't bloody need A&E.
She then tells me I cannot even see local doc, usual out of hours, round the corner but one, 9 miles away?! AND she cant make the appointment. She has to then call this other out of hours, to then call me to make an appt.
What a load of useless bloody shite.
Hours ago, had the normal system been operative, we would have been seen already and sent away or given something.
Oh - just got another call and asking the same questions again.
