Corrie...

[gina32]

Anyone else want to join me registering at the doctors surgery in corrie, you can decide you want to see the doc, get an appointment and be in the surgery all within 5 minutes!!

[elliemay1]

I know! So unrealistic

[hc4361]

I get same day and walk in appointments. I'm a lucky bean :)

[gina32]

im lucky if i get one within a fortnight!

[hc4361]

That's not good, Gina. We also have fab nurses at our practice

[aelmpvw]

there have been sixteen murders in coronation street since its inception so i'd rather live somewhere else with a longer waiting list to see the doctor

[hereIam]

But to be fair, we can't wait weeks, they have to get on with the storyline ...

[gina32]

I agree we cant wait weeks, but surely it could be a little more realistic!

[mallyh]

same with holby they take people off the street diagnose ,operate and all in an hour lol x

.....and you get to see the same doctor every time!
To be fair to my practice, they do have a walk in every morning between 8.30 and 10.30am but you can't choose which doctor you see and you have to be prepared to sit there for a long time.
You can only make an appointment for 2 days in advance and you have to phone at 8am to make one. If you can't get through, then by 8.15am all the appointments have gone.

But if it IS realistic, the storyline would be held up and then people would be moaning 'it's dragging on too long'! They can't win .....

26 June is next appt available here !!! unless you book a home visit..when it is not necessary but if you need a doc that's the only way !

[cupid04]

And why is it that the same two cops keep turning up to question all of Barlow's family but the minute that the Platt's need help they get sent the bent cop...

[gina32]

Cupid04, how true lol

[gina32]

murraymints, yes i agree but all within 5 minutes!

[hc4361]

The bent copper was a shock. Well played, Corrie :)

[hereIam]

^ Indeed.

[fiction-factory]

I must have missed the bent copper bit- was that Monday?
great line form Ken on Friday "that book made a big impression on me" .

[hc4361]

The bent cop is the nasty bloke that Bethany had to have sex with - he's 'investigating' the missing report that Sarah made to the police.
