I'm one of those who doesn't like to bother the doctor or anybody in case it's not that serious. I bother them if it's the kids but not if it's me. I think it's because we hear all these stories about time wasters who dial 999 when they've got a splinter in their finger and we see all the posters in the surgery about not wasting GPs time with requests for unnecessary home visits.

Now all of a sudden I'm being shunted back and forth from hospitals to doctors back to hospital again for various ops and tests and what have you and I don't know if I'm coming or going so I'm certainly getting my money's worth at the mo!
