Last time the surgery told me I had to see a GP about a test it turned out to be my iron levels were a tiny amount below normal when I tried to donate blood and the GP was amazed they'd rung to drag me in when I just needed a few iron pills from the chemist. Could they not write you a letter?!

It also grinds my gears when my patients twine on about not being able to get a appointment. We have loads of appointments. You might not get to see the GP of your choice at precisely 4.50pm on their day off, but you can see your GP within 10 days or any GP the same day.

Cuddy Mar 2017 8:51pm, 28 Mar 2017 4,895 posts	Quote Pin Cuddy 1 month wait to see a GP. Two week wait to see a nurse. Discovering your GP can't read the BNF and writes you the wrong dose. No, one injection every two weeks isn't the same as 6 injections in two weeks.

Carpathius Mar 2017 10:27pm, 28 Mar 2017 11,572 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius [Our surgery merged or something with another one. Since then it's been even worse than before trying to get an appointment. On the day appointments are for urgent problems only but any routine appointment has to be booked in advance. A lot in advance.]

Annoying on so many levels. runner shouldn't be asking the official for the time Official shouldn't be talking to her He turns round and misses other athletes coming over line He wouldn't have time as he only has a clipboard Etc etc. Grrrr I still can't watch their wedding advert either
