Phone consultations missed a serious foot infection

I would rate this experience far below one star if that were possible. While I recognise there have been significant pressures on services recently, I feel that in-person consultations should now be standard practice. Over the past month, I experienced significant swelling, pain, and heat in my right foot, and was initially advised this was simply fluid retention. However, when I attended an out-of-hours clinic, I was informed that this initial assessment was incorrect, and that I actually had a chronic foot infection. This was extremely frustrating and concerning. Given that I have type 2 diabetes, I believe this situation should have been handled with greater care and accuracy from the outset.
