what happens if everything becomes urgent

‘accident & emergency’

GPs can even offer routine appointments over the course or the month. This seems like glossing over the fact that a lot of GPs are oversubscribed. My area is having 671 new homes built (half of which is now built and lived in). That’s a lot to add to a GP where you already strutgled to get an appointment.

If a case is that urgent, surely your point of call is A&E.

The challenge is always getting there before the local wrinklies and/or nutters and then past the receptionist(s).

Their raison d’être appears to be doing a ‘Bridge of Khazad-dûm’ with the normals that walk in needing actual help – “you cannot pass!!!”

But will talk for a fkn hour with this woman ‘cos she’s her sister’s neighbour. In a pinch, that person will get a sneaky check-up with the GP whilst every other mug has to follow procedure.
