Bluegh, my mother-in-law has been ill for a few days, headaches and a bit of a cough, pretty classic covids but the LFTs coming up negative and a PCR just not coming back, so she's been waiting around getting worse. Went into hospital yesterday as headaches were mega and speech was slurred, leg numb and it's actually a bleed on her brain. She's spent the night in a corridor with her boyfriend waiting outside in his car. Bit of a shitter and a nice example of how a big wave of Covid cases can cause problems for non Covid patients because of testing backlogs, misdiagnosis because Covid is likely and GPs are overworked and then treatment is hard because hospitals are full of Covid patients. She's due to be transported to Stoke-on-trent hospital today, which is bad as it's where her husband died a few years back so she's a bit prone to panic attacks around the place, but good because they're a specialist in head stuff and the family knows the head head guy from having many nurses who've worked there over the years, he sorted out an uncle who had a stroke a couple of years ago and will make sure everything is double checked and as good as possible for her.
