i live on my own, no family within a few hundred miles. I fell earlier and twisted my leg which has swollen up and I can’t put weight on it.the phone advice line say see my gp today but what can they do ?
I think I would be unreasonable but idk I can’t get around my house to make food and I can’t do the stairs to get to the bathroom or bedroom.

I don't think they would send an ambulance unfortunately. When DH fell and broke his leg last year he was told he'd have to make his own way to a&e.

I'd get a taxi, friend or neighbour to take you. An ambulance if called would have you as low priority and you'll be waiting a very long time.

Of course you can’t get a bloody ambulance. Ring a taxi and go to the hospital if you feel you urgently need to be seen, otherwise get a taxi to a GP appointment or walk in centre tomorrow.

Taxi rather than ambulance. Good luck - I hope it's not broken.

Get a taxi to A&E
