I wonder why there are notices in every medical establishment saying that abuse won't be tolerated. Why do they think they're going to get abused? If they do their job correctly, then there won't be any abuse, will there?
I phoned at 08.30 for an appointment and was told there wasn't any that day. I'd have to ring back the following day or book online. My neighbour asked me if I would call in at the same doctors' to get a prescription for him, that same day. I went in at 2.15 and the place was absolutey deserted. No one waiting, no-one on reception, no-one visible in the office behind reception. A deathly silence all round. I thought I'd walked in during a fire practice. Eventually someone appeared, so I asked why I couldn't have an appointment earlier, seeing as there was no-one in now. She said she didn't know. She wasn't on the phones earlier. Good innit? Our wonderful NHS. I wouldn't mind but very rarely go to the doctors. Very rarely. Ah well. Cest la vie.
