Uni deadline due on Monday/Tuesday, 111 just called me insisting I go to A&E?
I basically have to hand in everything either by Monday or Tuesday Morning, i still have a lot to complete but the 111 service rang me a few hours ago about some bloods done yesterday(VERY low magnesium levels) telling me to go straight to A&E for emergency treatment but I'm just terrified of going.
I didn't apply for mitigation (hoping to get it done on time) so if I fail, I'll have to resit and don't want that because if I go, I'll likely be stuck in the ward for half a week then end going back for tests the week after possibly miss the deadline and I REALLY don't want to worry my parents.
And I'm not sure if my uni would allow extenuating circumstances this late into the assignment to be honest.
What do I do?

Go to A&E. Call your uni first thing Tuesday.
Health comes first. You're not going to do anything like your best work anyway in this state, if you get it done at all. All you're doing is putting yourself in danger. Go get yourself sorted and tell the uni first thing Tuesday morning - you're not exactly choosing to be in hospital and it couldn't have been predicted. They would be extremely unfair not to at least give you an extension.

Fingers crossed it can all be sorted quickly and smoothly for you, as much as possible.

Hi there
Your health comes first always so please prioritise that. A similar thing happened to me in my first year and Kent were really understanding about it. They also gave me mitigation for an exam I had the week after i got home from hospital. When you have a moment please let your uni know whether that be through an email or a quick phone call. Depending on your situation they may tell you to fill in the extension forms or mitigation forms after you are feeling better but some unis can just process an automatic one. I really would try not to worry. If worst comes to worse you will always have the option of applying for mitigation at a later date (just make sure to keep any relevant hospital paperwork etc). Hope this helps and hope you recover soon!
Best wishes

Instead of A&E, I got my GP to refer me to the emergency day unit swiftly then got bloods done again then got treated within a few hours, its all good now 🙂
Thank You so much for your reply
