It didn’t take long for the former BBC Breakfast host to be inundated with messages from his followers who offered him alternatives.

@rjfoster penned: “Hopefully you’ll get through sooner.”
@glenndutfield commented: “So much for the lie in after leaving Breakfast. Wishing her well.”
@Timmy Tapper commented: “I know the NHS is struggling at the moment,but for balance my son needed an X-Ray on a suspected broken wrist this week, and was in and out of our local minor injuries unit within an hour. Important to recognise when it goes well!”
Dan replied: “Not moaning. The hospital is brilliant and they are understaffed today because of ‘unforeseen absences’ (there is a sign up). Very thankful she is getting seen at some stage.”
The person in question replied: “Excellent stuff, and I didn’t mean to imply you were moaning – just wanted to share our positive experience.”
Others urged to visit the minor injuries unit as opposed to the emergency room.
