Briton who feared he had Ebola told by NHS to drive HIMSELF to hospital A BRITON who feared he had contracted the deadly Ebola disease was told by an NHS call centre operator to drive himself to hospital.
Adam Griffiths thought he had the virus after he started suffering similar symptoms like stomach pains and being feverish following a trip to Africa.
The 24-year-old called the 111 medical help number and was surprised when he was told they could send an ambulance or he could travel to hospital himself.
When he arrived at A&E he was immediately placed in a decontamination room "used for terrorist attacks" and met by doctors in full body suits
Mr Griffiths, from Swansea, said staff at Bristol South Mead Accident & Emergency unit were "amazed" at the advice he had been given last Friday. See more
