The problem was that she couldn't drink, even small amounts of water/flat lemonade/dioralyte were not staying put!
She eventually got seen at the walk in at about 2 this afternoon, she was given 2 injections , 6 tablets and 12 sachets of Dioralyte!  He also said not to eat for another 3 days and then only potato soup!

must be a different planet to the one i am on , not a very good state of affairs at all
