Her mum called the GP again and, following a face-to-face appointment instead of the previous telephone consultations, an appointment was made with Blackburn Ambulatory Care for the following morning. After a 12-hour wait for an ambulance, she was transferred to Preston Hospital where she had ten hours of emergency surgery to remove it.
