In the British culture where a lot of us feel guilty about using NHS resources unnecessarily, lots of people seem to be looking for other people's approval for seeking medical help.

With the 111 service, there is the means for everyone to access this sort of approval from someone who is medically trained and who has asked a lot of relevant questions.

I lost a good friend and mother of 3 last year to sepsis last year because she didn't want to make a fuss and didn't get medical help until it was too late.

People seem to post some quite strong views as to whether someone should attend A & E based on limited information and often no medical training.

Should these threads be treated like those where people are at risk of self harming? The only advice is to call 111?

It would be a tragedy if based on responses here someone did not seek medical help and a serious condition went untreated.

AIBU?

Personally, I don’t think any thread should be banned. Just don’t click on it after you’ve read the title!

You see the same level of poor advice in the pregnancy threads too when someone posts about a change in movements in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Frequently someone will come on and say that movement reduces because the baby has less room and not to worry.
