True story.
Last time I had a doctor's disappointment was when my leg started leaking.
A 'nurse' there took the dressing off that I had crudely applied. The
doctor agreed the leg was leaking, prescribed antibiotics and furosemide
and sent me home to await a visit from a district nurse.
I asked them to replace the dressing. They said they don't do dressings
any more. I'd have to wait until the district nurse called, or if I
thought it was urgent, go to A&E.
I got home and applied another crude dressing messen. A DN turned up
four days later.
