It wasn’t a false negative – that blood test gives false positive commonly but not false negatives apart from rarely – so I was told.
Yes we do have several different pathways into hospital care / assessment – all gatekept by either GP in hours or nhs 24 out of hours. thats why GP or nhs 24 is always your first port of call unless its life threatening when you go to A&E
aye – I didn’t think it was a DVT, GP didn’t either but wanted to be sure. Took all day to navigate round the system tho but good result in the end.
