Taddy, my thoughts are with you.
It is very worrying when someone who is the centre of your life is not well.
I hope things turn out well.
I am really glad that you were sorted out in a timely manner, and this maybe down to the particular practice as some are so much better than others.

Cashy, like wise. I am glad that Ange got to see someone.

All that said, it is putting a lot onto nurses.....and it is mooted that face to face consultations with doctors will be less common once all this has died down.
It causes me concern, not for me personally but for others who will avoid 'being a nuisance'
Or not feel confident about a telephone conversation with either a GP or a health care professional.
There is no substitute for seeing a patient....so much information can be gained from seeing how a patient walks into a consulting room.
