The biggest frustration is that if the reception had taken a second to check my file, she'd had seen that my last appointment was three years ago, for a persistant phlegmy cough and I was prescribed antibiotics and steroids. So when I ring up with almost identical symptoms (a six week phlegmy cough - we teachers do tend to pick up lots of this stuff from the kids) the doctor could probably have prescibed similar with a 30 second phone consult and saved a lot of hassle.....
I've managed to wangle some 'non contact' time Friday, so will attempt a call then, otherwise it'll be 111 or a walk-in clinic
Got through, got answered and then had to wait for a call back from the Doctor. He did a phone consult and has prescribed some antibiotics. Would have preferred a face to face, and perhaps a check of my breathing function but beggars can't be choosers......
And if I it doesn't get any better, I can ring up anytime and get through to the doctor so I don't have to go through the appointment gambit again.
