Such a shitshow here-feel very let down by the NHS. Posted about my 8 yr old dd earlier this week-thanks to all for the good wishes. Backstory- she came home from school on Monday with severe backache, breathing difficulty, temp shot up to over 40 in an hour. Phoned gp, refused to see her, phoned 111 they called an ambulance then rang back and said it could take 4+hours so take up to A&E myself. Finally seen after 5/6 hours , x-ray taken, antibiotics given but not enough for 5 day course.finally got more antiobiotic prescribed. Asked 3 times to see GP as shes been febrile up to 40° for 6 days now, breathless but not struggling so much, now got a cough but no mucus. Finally got through to 111 last night at 8, told she should be tested and dr would phone back but could take 4 hours. Eventually get a call at 4 AM this morning ,8 hours later ,from a nurse who agrees she needs to be seen face to face. Makes an appointment for gp this morning-only for it to be cancelled and a phone consultation arranged. GP thinks its Corona and given new antiobiotics to be used for 24 hours which is specifically for pneumonia. Says if no change by tomorrow to take to larger A&E where they will hopefully be able to check her oxygen levels etc and test her as she fits the criteria. Just feel GP's should be our frontline here-to suggest going back to an overcrowded A&E is not correct. 2 GP's have suggested this to me.
