Just sat for 1.5hrs in walk in centre , coz I couldn't get an appointment at my GP until Dec 22!

And boy, it was definitely worth the wait! 

Spose I'll should go back to work tomorrow

Well I'm glad you're on the mend/not ill/recovered 

TBH I think GP's appointments are a backward way of doing things. It just encourages the coughers and lame n lazy to keep going back every week for something or other. It simply ensures those with the most time on their hands get seen.

Our local surgery has a much better system. A maximum of 50% of appointments on any one day can be pre-booked and ONLY by a GP/Nurse. If you want to get in yourself, you call up the morning you want to go in. Then a doctor calls you back within 30mins, discusses your symptoms with you and either gives you appointment, sends you to A&E, sends you to a pharmacist or tells you to pi$$ off.

I've always had an appointment the same day as calling. Then again I've been to the doctors twice in the last 5yrs and always with something relatively serious (cellulitis & mild sepsis). Both just having returned from foreign travel, so I guess I ticked all the boxes on the initial assessment!

Nah....the drippy tap aint going anywhere 

Actually its nice, I can hear again now.....theres nothing worse if you carnt hear properly.
Ear was blocked up Tuesday morning....2 1/2 days of pouring drops in it 3 times a day, then 'syringed' this afternoon...
Job done 

I did try phoning a few places that do ear micro suction (didn't mind the £50 ish cost) but even they were booked up for 7 days!

Oh, your ears ?

When I saw "What a relief!" I assumed you'd been constipated

That's classed as an emergency appointment at my surgery......got one a few years ago....when I had DVT, Doctor saw me within an hour of him calling me back.....then gave me a bollocking for not going to A&E! Carnt win sometimes
