Well I'm glad you're on the mend/not ill/recovered :y
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! ;D

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 :o ;)

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 ::)
