Hmmmm. Well driving home from wexham was stupid and nearly killed me I thought I would collapse so not moving again. Will have to wait for my baldy to get home. And then how bad will I feel if they scan me (I assume this is v expensive? And then they are like, you have man flu.....

Better than the other option, phone Baldie up and get him home.

Read Flatlanders blog! It may well be that it's not a head thing - but what price the risk? Put it this way - if it was *me* with that history (And I hardly ever access medical services!) I would not hesitate to get a scan |

Yes - get more medical help. Keep in touch and let us know you're okay. Good luck.

If they scan you and it turns out that you're just brewing up a dose of tonsillitis, that's OK. If they assume it's a dose of tonsillitis and don't scan you and it turns out that you're brewing up a blood clot in your head, that's negligence - and a potential personal catastrophe. And don't go understating your symptoms or making light of it because you don't want to look like a daisy. Tell 'em what you're telling us. |

Why are you worrying about the cost? The potential seriousness eliminates the need to even think about it! After all the scanners will be running anyways and you will just fit in the system when you can. Stop worrying about wasting time, money etc and go get seen too. Do not mention you went to Wexham Pk.... they have no way of really checking! Just stick to the facts and get them to sort you out. Off you go now |

Yes it probably is expensive. But its being funded by everyone here who pays any sort of taxes. Ergo the scans being paid for by the very people who are telling you to go get it done. Get thee to the hospital...... |
