Remember the dying woman who was told by the new NHS 24 service to take two paracetamol ?

This case doesn't sound too cheerful, either.

The nurse said the patient had sounded breathless, as if he had an upper respiratory infection.

Mr Flynn said it had not occurred to him how Mr Wiseman had reached the phone.

However, he admitted that if he had known the patient had to crawl it would have made a difference.
