I don't doubt it, but even then a headache could mean so many different things, from a tension headache to a brain tumour or stroke. A sore arm could be nothing more than a bad bruise or early indication of a serious neurological condition. Perhaps I have this wrong but the presenting symptoms can only be properly analysed for significance after a final diagnosis and followup, surely? Maybe that was done and all were non-serious, in which case those figures would be genuinely shocking. I fine it hard to believe anyone could bear to be in a&e these days with nothing worse than a sore throat. As a walk-in they are likely to have to wait up to 12 hours to be seen. -
True, First Mate. But I’ve worked in A&E and seen people turning up with heavy periods and headaches and even a sore arm. Then there’s the drunks and druggies who just want somewhere to kip. All my comments are beside the point, tho, the original one being that closing GP surgeries during a strike could make the situation in the ED even worse than it is at this time of year. And they can’t turn anyone away. -

In regard to sore throats and itchy skin, I wonder though if those were generally the only symptoms? You could be quite seriously ill and still present with a sore throat or itchy skin. The idea of multiple people rocking up to a&e with 'just' a sore throat or itchy skin may be slightly misleading. -
Exactly. But they are often out of hours GPs, who could be tending to more important issues. Those people are still clogging the system up
