Over a 6 month: period adult male in good health, went to his local GP Surgery complaining of feeling sick, giddy, confused, balance gone, general feeling of being unwell.
Doctor 1 stated viral infection
Doctor 2 stated vertigo
Doctor 3 stated viral vertigo
Patient by now projectile vomiting, bad headaches, using walking stick to walk? Wife of patient took subject to another county and went private. Doctor 4 at this surgery took one look at the male patient and stated possible stroke. Patient went back to his own county, went to local hospital diagnosed with Brain tumour?
Moved to Addenbrookes hospital, 8 hour operation to remove the tumour or, as three doctors diagnosed, vertigo. And the saga goes on. Basic symptoms of a brain tumour - so why didn't they find it?
