Symptoms worth checking
Leg swelling, varicose veins, walking pain, cold feet, diabetic foot wounds, a clinician-requested carotid question, and suspected DVT are common reasons for referral.
Urgent symptoms
Severe sudden symptoms, chest pain, shortness of breath, stroke-like symptoms, or a suddenly cold painful foot need emergency assessment. Call 112 in Kuwait rather than waiting for an outpatient appointment.
