Parents wont take me to the doctor

So I looked up NHS symptom checker and they said I need to get help right away as it is possible of I leave this longer than today I could get kidney damage.

But today is my mum and dads wedding anniversary so obvs my mum doesnt want to take me.

I dont know how to ask her for this or how to beg her to take me or what to do if she wont let me.

I'm 15, the GP is closed, I would need to contact thr emergency doc which I dont know how to do and my mum probs wouldnt tell me, or go to hospital and I cant get there as I cannot drive.

Do you not have a walk in centre?
Get a map, go on a bus. If it's bothering you that much.

Though it seems a bit harsh if your mum is refusing to take you.

Tell your mom about the kidney damage crap and tell her about what's happening. It's nothing embarrassing, just a possible UTI. If she doesn't let you then that's some mother, who cares if it's her anniversary, you're her daughter and you may need medical care

No.
There is no bus.

Go early in the morning by yourself or ask a close relative to drop you off.
If this situation is unsolvable then I dunno... If she won't take you go on a day that you can go, even if you have to wait. Just hang in there okay? Is your mother caring? Just asking

Dont have any relatives other than parents.
It's 1 3/4 hours away by bus, 45 min by car, 4 by foot.

Those symptoms you have are they that severe for immediate treatment? I highly doubt that waiting an extra day or so would increases the chances of kidney damage that much. I'd advise you to wait for your parents to take you or if you're really determined then by all means go by yourself.

NHS says definitely today, as in cancel all plans today, as because it came on so fast for me it is likely to be the more severe, damaging type.

Fall out in the middle of a conversation before she leaves.
Or ask a stranger.

Or in front of one
You know..put on a show. Make a scene so they have to take you. :cool: lol

Well for starters have you spoken to your parents about it yet? It seems like your afraid of asking them to take you to the doctors. I'm sure they'll understand and take you even though it may ruin their anniversary.

What's more important to them? Your health or their anniversary, you know the answer. Just tell them already stop avoiding it you're making things more difficult that way.
