And why do receptionists ask what's wrong with you?
It's none of your business.
Up here the stock question from a receptionist on requesting an appointment is 'Is it an emergency'... it tends to cause much confusion and irritation when I reply that I don't know, thats why I wish to see a doctor although if I thought it was I would probably go to A&E rather than waiting on the phone for 30 minutes for them to answer it! They do seem to get something of a god complex. |

Yep.
The receptionists have always been up themselves, save the odd time. |

Doctors smochters.
Fucking useless the lot of 'em. Unless you have an arm hanging off or minus your head they haven't got a clue what's wrong.
This is said from my GP who, when I was a mere whippersnapper, diagnosed my stomach pains were just growing pains.
2 hours later my appendix burst and yours truly almost shuffled off.
My latest charlatan refuses to refer me for a knee replacement because, apparently, I'm too young - I'm 59 FFS!
They are just hoping I die of something else before they have to refer me

I've only been to the doc to register because my missus made me a few years ago... I wouldn't bother going other than that. Most of my ailments I can identfy via the internet and fortunately I've not contracted anything serious and unidentifyable yet... I've been to A&E far more often for various injuries.. The last time I went the Doc said that my ankle, which I couldn't walk on and thought was broken - was not only not broken but not even sprained, just badly bruised.. I asked him if I needed time off work to rest it and he said "You play football and I play Rugby, you're a southerner and I'm a northerner, I wouldn't but its up to you... " (which I thought was quite funny really).

Who is audrey?
Kerry Red. Bit of a toughie tonight, I reckon. Could edge it 2-1 but not surprised if it's a draw.
I've been prepared to change my name to Audrey if the 10,000 barrier isn't broken tonight - what with the price reductions - so hope this filthy weather eases up by kick off.
Attendance v Walsall was 8188. |

My doctors are the same, the receptionists seem to have some kind of superiority complex

Most of my ailments I can identfy via the internet and fortunately I've not contracted anything serious and unidentifyable yet... You see, this is what pissed me off about this morning. I'm a typical guy. I always self-diagnose using Google. Most of the time it tells me that I've contracted something like Ebola and I'm going to die. So I self diagnosed this problem, but the wife said that I should probably go to the docs for verification and a professional opinion and discuss treatments etc. So I walk into the doctors office, she says "yep, that looks like such and such", Googles and prints me a leaflet and I go home armed with a website printout which tells me nothing I don't already know. I feel no more reassured or informed. She just made me feel like I was wasting her time because I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. Cheers then, I'll just go home and Google some more then shall I? |

Kerry Red.
Attendance v Walsall was 8188.
Now, that should be investigated. No way we had 2 consecutive home games with the exact same official attendance. I am now scarred for life |

Not the receptionists. They don't need to know really. They're just nosey.
Don't they try to triage some things off to the nurse - non urgent asthma care and the like? ""You play football and I play Rugby, you're a southerner and I'm a northerner, I wouldn't but its up to you... " I bet being a northerner he plays rugby league, which is like rugby but not real rugby |

That was the surgery I've just left... glad they aren't just moody, rude, and nosey to me! |

Last time I went to my Doctors I was seen by a female doctor who was tongue-tyingly attractive and about my age. Fortunately we weren't discussing a cure for my tiny penis, so there's still a chance she'll fall in love.

Lucky you, Crossroads Surgery are quoting 3-4 weeks to see a doctor, or "ring up in the morning if it is urgent" and if you haven't rung by 8-35 the emergency appointments are all gone, "try again tomorrow"!! Used to be a great practice until Abbey Meads got their dirty mitts on it, running it into the ground now!!
Add Penhill surgery into the group as well Very rarely get to see a doc anyway - most emergency appointments I have had are always with a nurse Who - if thinks its serious enough to need medication - has to go see the doc anyway and get a second opinion/prescription Whats the fucking point in that ? |
