I was speaking to a friend, who had been away on a camping trip. She ended up in a lot of dental pain.
Her phone was out of battery (nowhere to charge it when you are camping), so she travelled 30 miles to thd nearest hospital (on a Sunday).
They told her she had to go and phone nhs direct.
She went and found a phone box in and called them. They told her they had to speak to an assessor who wasn't available, so they would phone her back within two hours.
Two hours, hanging around a phone box, in a town she doesnt know, while in pain?
Is it just me or should there be some facility to bend the rules in some cases?

AIBU?
To think nhs direct hasn't really been thought through.
