when i asked her if there where any other doctors i could see she said they won't get anyone else in because the NHS can't afford it

Last time I had to see a consultant this happened. Appointment was at something like 9am in Manchester. Got seen at about 12/1 I think. They always overbook - it's to get past the targets I guess. Shame that it impares on patient care as they are just rushing to get through people.
Oh, I didn't actually get to see the consultant. I saw a registrar. They'd lost my notes too.. put me on some medication I'd already been on.
