"Very impressive service"

Having recently been ill with a winter bug, I developed a high fever during the evening of 4th January and after several hours passed out in the bathroom without warning. For the first time ever I dialled 111 for advice as I've a history of losing consciousness when ill and wanted reassurance as to what to do as I was very dizzy, aware I'd banged my head and had no idea how long I'd been out cold for (last time it happened I was admitted to A&E for 24 hours of tests and observation).

I was taken through a comprehensive list of questions, at the end of which I was advised that a doctor would be in touch with me within the next 2 hours. A doctor called me an hour later and after asking a few more questions said they were coming to see me. About an hour after that the doctor arrived (I live a fair way from Ashford) and conducted some tests. The doctor gave me antibiotics for a chest infection and advice on reducing my high temperature and told me to remain in bed until I was no longer dizzy and my temperature returned to normal. I was very grateful for their 3am visit which was hugely reassuring particularly as I live alone. I would like to thank the call handler and the doctor for their help. I'm now on the road to recovery, cough improving daily and bruises from the fall gradually healing.
