Masterchef woman's voice - yep, irritating in the extreme!
Meningitis - you cannot imagine the speed at which things move once it is suspected. Once our GP had rung for an ambulance, we were in the RVI within 25 minutes. Every minute really does count. I was pleased that when discussing the symptoms on TV this evening, the rash was NOT flagged up as being a definite indicator. Often it is not present in the early stages, and by the time it HAS developed it is often too late. It was good that the focus was on other symptoms which parents could fail to recognise as serious - rather like me, who only called the GP after taking advice from my mother who happened to be a receptionist in a health centre (and clearly had a better medical knowledge than any of the doctors there!) I thought he had the bug that other kids were suffering from in his playgroup at the time.
We were given 50/50 chance of bringing him home.
Thank God it worked out as well as it did.
