GP was busy so told him to go to A&E
|
Yes a few people I know have been told this before...GP too busy, go to A&E...as if A&E isn't even busier. Luckily the only time I have needed an emergency appointment was for the kids though, and children under 10 get fasttracked..the receptionist will stop being a bitch for a few seconds and actually listen to whats wrong..sometimes she tries to diagnose you but I tell her I need to speak to the doctor then a doctor rings back and if he deems it worrying you go straight in to see him.
Go to hospital as GP is too busy is ridiculous.
Also I found out yesterday at my appointment that the reason we have to wait a MONTH for an appointment sometimes is because the doctors go round OAPs houses to cut their nails and such?! My GP told me they don't do housecalls when I was in absolute agony and couldn't walk along..but they visit houses for stuff like cutting toenails..really..
