Missed uti could have been fatal

My daughter submitted a patches request on a Thursday several weeks ago. She received an appointment for the following Saturday in Birkenhead. Attempting to secure an earlier slot due to her severe illness, she called the practice, only to be informed that the next available doctor's appointment would be the subsequent Tuesday. Fortunately, she sought out-of-hours care, where medical staff determined she was too unwell to be treated and immediately transferred her to Accident and Emergency. Her condition was critical, with a high temperature, elevated blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat. She was quickly admitted and started on intravenous antibiotics, having been on the brink of developing sepsis. Had she waited for the previously scheduled appointments, I strongly believe the consequences could have been fatal. Back in late February, she had initially contacted the doctors regarding a UTI, but they refused to see her and suggested visiting a pharmacy. The prescribed three-day antibiotic course proved completely ineffective. I am thoroughly convinced that this medical practice has failed her multiple times!!
