A ‘brave’ dad says he ‘refused to leave A&E’ without vital blood tests - which led to a devastating terminal diagnosis. After being not being able to get GP appointment, claims the dad, he endured a nightmare 20-hour wait in A&E before being told to go back to his GP.
Gareth Dixon, 40, from Warrington was taken to hospital earlier this year after reportedly being unable to get a GP appointment at his practice, Fairfield Surgery in Manchester Road for worsening symptoms of fatigue, thirst and aches and pains.
The dad-of-two said he kept trying to get in to see a doctor but was unable to get a face-to-face appointment. He says he could only get through on the phone, at which point he claims he was just told to go for blood tests several days later.
