I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Serious questions!
NHS? Which surgery? When did you last have to phone said surgery?
Lately, it seems with mine, once you've convinced the receptionist that it maybe slightly important, you may be granted a telephone consultation with a Doctor that day. Then, if you convince said Doctor, you may be granted a same day face to face appointment. - 18 August 2016 08:37316849Mine is High St surgery excellent staff always very helpful. A while back I had chest pains over the course of a weekend but didn't ring Monday morning as they are so busy then. By the afternoon it had got worse so I went down in person. Too late to see a Doctor but was directed to a senior Nurse who gave me a thorough examination and diagnosed a lung infection - she wrote a prescription for a strong antibiotic, got a Doctor to sign it and I felt better within two days.TheThinWhiteDuke likes this
