Gah. GP implied we were wasting her time because he was cheerful but gave the referral to the paed but not the u/s.

Number for the paed was wrong and name was illegible. Google to the rescue.

Paed's office was closed.

Found mobile number.

Paed said he's not taking appointments today but discussed likely reasons most if which are to do with swollen lymph nodes and requiring anti-bs or draining.

Rather than going back to GP DH will just go to hospital now. I don't like to waste anyone's time but until we know he's ok I think that's what we have to do.
