Shouted the staff a couple of pizzas for their trouble, and home by midnight.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Cheers Ean

I can only wish . They never cured me , they just ruled out it being anything sinister.

I look like I have been microwaved not sunburnt. Get a walk on part in a zombie movie without needing make-up

Cheers Ean

Yes we do. We're all amateur Diagnosticians here. There's a one in a billion chance one of us could find a cure. [thumbsupbig]

I'm glad it's nothing sinister.

I had a patient once who had Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, which is an inflammatory immune system reaction affecting the skin (often a reaction to medication). His eyes were swollen shut and he ended up having to go a a burns unit.

As for triage, (I work as a paramedic), people often call for an ambulance thinking they'll get seen faster in ED. I explain that in the ED people are treated in the order they're going to die. The good news is they're not dying, the bad news is they'll be waiting awhile.
