Missed glandular fever with phone flashlight

I'm extremely frustrated with a specific nurse at this medical practice who provided a completely incorrect diagnosis. Given my history of severe throat infections and the challenge of securing appointments due to their rapid filling, I've repeatedly been seen by this nurse who mistakenly prescribed tonsillitis medication when I actually had Glandular Fever. This misdiagnosis caused my condition to worsen and persist. Eventually, a doctor examined me properly, noting my severely swollen right tonsil and enlarged glands, and promptly ordered a blood test along with potent antibiotics. His approach was effective because he accurately identified my condition. The surgery later confirmed it was Glandular Fever, a potentially serious illness if not treated correctly. The nurse's unprofessional approach, using only a phone flashlight for throat examinations, was entirely inadequate. Moving forward, I will exclusively book appointments with doctors to prevent such misdiagnoses from recurring. Always opt for doctor consultations.
