Reasons to be Cheerful

The following are genuine call reasons that I've personally dealt with:

  • Abdo. pain + vaginal bleed - caller had had a coil fitted that morning
  • 39wks pregnant, severe abdo cramps, pressure sensation in pelvis, watery pv discharge, nausea - caller said "But it's not due for two more days"
  • Child with red, sunburn like rash and high temp. - child had been sat in the garden all day during the July mini-heatwave
  • Vaginal bleed and cramping after taking the morning-after pill. How the hell do they think it works?
  • Oral pain following a dental extraction
  • 13 year old girl with vaginal bleed and lower backache - any idea what that could be? Caller commented that "it happened last month too"
and finally:

  • 11 year old girl with swelling under the nipples *ahem*
