About Woman's Condition Takes a Dangerous Turn at the Doctor's

In this episode of GPs: Behind Closed Doors, doctors care for a range of elderly patients facing complex health concerns. A woman with worsening memory loss and dizziness is urgently referred for further tests after doctors fear it could be a stroke or dementia. Elsewhere, a patient with suspected Addison's disease deteriorates rapidly in the surgery and is rushed to hospital by ambulance with a potentially life-threatening adrenal crisis. The team also diagnoses scarlet fever in a young boy, investigates a painful hand tremor, and helps patients with falls, hernias, chronic pain, and other age-related conditions.
