ahhhhhhhh blooming nhs direct!
i phone them for some advice on what i could use on dd2's poor little bottom as she was screaming in pain ever time she goes to the loo in her nappy, due to the large number of chicken pox blisters on her bum and bits. nurse refers to doctor who at the first mention of rare skin condition wants to see her, so we take our highly contagious child to the gp coop this morning, gp not sure what to do thinks spots on bum are infected and phones on call dermatologist who says hmmm she should she a the on call paed. So referred to the childrens, wait for nearly 3 hours to see the on call paed (again highly contagious child in a and e waiting room), who takes a look and says hmm just looks like lots of chicken pox blisters not infected try metanium cream! why did the nhs direct not just say this instead of us wasting 6 hours at the various doctors this morning?
ahhhhhh
sorry just need to vent
