Are Gps A Thing Of The Past Now?

[Bobbisox1]

I've got a small swelling on my right cheek from the gland behind my ear , a little painful when I'm eating , a feeling of neuralgia, this is from Satur , today I phoned my GP AT 10am, got a call back from a nurse practitioner who asked me a few questions and told me to carry on taking Paracetamol, then a half an hour later another call saying I'd best go in tomorrow for her to look in my ear, fair enough but where's my doctor gone :0(

No idea Jourdain, but I'm hoping it's the blocked glands , 74 with Mumps? Seems rather odd :0/
I don't even think there was a GP at our practice today ,I can't help wandering what they're doing ?
I hope your OHs problem is sorted now Jourdain

I don't think it is mumps Bobbs - I had it when I was 13 then it was my whole front of neck was swelled like from ear to ear so don't think your symptoms match that.

I was curious that a number of doctors at my local, very large clinic, were working part-time. I had not come across this and wondered why.
