Open surgeries are ok if you don't work. Those of us that do need appointments to fit in with work.

You want to try and get an appointment at Pals........you either die or recover before you get to see a doctor there.......and another, thing you can't get through on the damn phone to book an appointment....the only way you can do it is go down to the surgery for 08.30 and stand in the queue....sometimes you will be lucky and see a doctor(though maybe not your own doctor)....and sometimes you will have to see a nurse to see if your condition warrants an opion by a GP.
This is not good when you are feeling rough as rope.
They should concentrate on treating the sick folks and leave the well alone.....but alas that doesn't tick the governmental boxes!
