When to seek urgent medical help
Some symptoms require an urgent consultation or even emergency medical care. This applies especially to sudden, worsening and new neurological or post-injury symptoms.
Warning symptoms
Sudden weakness of a limb, speech disturbance, loss of consciousness or very severe pain after an injury require urgent assessment.
Worsening urinary retention, fever with severe pain or a rapidly deteriorating condition also warrant urgent contact.
What to do
If the situation is sudden and severe — use emergency services.
If the symptoms are worrying but not immediately life-threatening, contact reception and describe the problem as specifically as you can.
