It doesn't matter if it's a few hours or a few days, they are sat in front of a massive data base these days and if rather than fob everyone off with the standard, "all our appointments are booked for the next fortnight, they should be able realise, hey this guy doesn't ring every day perhaps theres something wrong?

A few weeks later I got a letter from my doctor enclosing a prescription for the very same tablets - he'd had a letter from the specialist.

I get that often enough. Every time the consultant changes my tablets i always end up having to tell my doctor. Best one was this last time that i went. The consultant gave me a new tablet to try. Told me if i had any trouble to contact my doctor. I started them and sent me loopy i was doped up to the eyeballs. Anyway rang docs up and id just missed him he'd left for the day so being me - didnt take them that night. He rang me back on the tuesday and said stop taking them and ring the consultant and by the way why are you on them and when did you start taking them. 12 days after id been to see the consultant i had a fit went into see him he said i've just got a letter from the consultant this morning to tell me hes altered your tablets!

Hey lovely? Can I have the name of those tablets? I'd rather feel loopy than what I'm going through at the mo'

I cant complain about the receptionists at my docs though I too have in the past threatened to call the doctor out if an appointment cant be found, strangely they usually have one.

Find that funny myself as soon as you mention a home visit they magically find the elusive appointment that they didn't have when you made the original request
