For the following scenarios, should you ‘stay at home’, ‘visit the general practitioner’ or ‘go to the emergency department’?
You have a bit of a tummy ache and have vomited twice today, you have been drinking lots of water but have only managed to eat a little bit of food. You have had a really sore throat for 3 days, you have been getting a high temperature and you can only drink a little bit of water. You were running in the playground and fell over, you have a little bruise on your knee but you can still run around and play. You have been vomiting six times a day for 5 days and you are not able to drink any water. You have had a sore throat for 2 days, you can still eat all your food and you don't have a temperature. You were jumping on the trampoline and fell off, landing on your arm, there is a big bump and it really hurts to move it.
