Sharp intake of breath!

That is outrageous!!!! If you get worse, get someone to take you to Walk In Centre, or call 111 for advice.

Take care.

Walk into the doctors, and collapse on the floor. They wont be able to leave you there.

Bit drastic, not to mention dramatic!

But may be worth a try...

Good idea, and make sure you land in a very inconvenient place too.

Re: Doctors appointment

All doctors have emergency appointments available. You sometimes have to phone that morning to get one the same day. You won't be able to name a doctor but you can get an appointment.

Re: Doctors appointment

With no reference to anyone here. The situation could easily be resolved by the hypochondriacs stopping taking much of the appointment times.

If you can get through bang on 8.30am and persuade the receptionist that is true, sadly not enough appointments and a determined receptionist means only a few people can get them.
