"Doppler scan"

About: Borders General Hospital NHS Borders

(as a relative),

My husband attended ED in mid November with painful calf

He has history of significant Pulmonary Embolisms associated with clot from the same leg.

On seeing ED staff he had blood pressure and pulse taken.

No bloods and was informed there was no Doppler scans at a weekend.

He attended ED at RIE today with same symptoms- observations and bloods taken and Doppler scan revealing a clot!!

He is astute enough not to ignore these symptoms but, if he was reliant on NHS Borders, I would be very concerned for him and any other patients in similar situation
