If she decides you are sufficiently ill she'll arrange an appointment which is a minimum of 7 days away. If she does not deem you sufficiently ill she'll arrange for a Dr to call you at some point in the next couple of days and the Dr can then decide whether you require an appointment and if so it'll be a minimum of 7 days away. They really make you feel like you are making a fuss over nothing and are wasting everyone's time. Happily I haven't had much requirement to visit the Dr up to now so am unsure if it's always been this bad?

And god forbid if you work. Fuck me, "you have a lump you say, hmmm yes we can see you at 11am." "But I work 40 miles away and can't make it at 11am" "well that's when the appointment is available, can't you take a days holiday?" NO I FUCKING CAN'T TAKE A DAYS HOLIDAY BECAUSE I NEED THEM FOR THE INSET DAY THE THE SCHOOL HAS DECIDED TO HAVE NEXT WEEK" "Ahhh seeing as I am off work for the inset day can I have an appointment then?" "Noooooooooooo we don't book appointments that far in advance" ARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
