I was expecting a call from a doctor/Consultant today. Never came. I rang and the guy couldn't apologise.enough because it hadn't been booked. It was booked in November for today.
I said oh nemind, I've got to see him in June so I will have to wait. He came back with got a cancellation, how about this Weds 2nd any good? I said wait, let me think about it Now thats lucky eh?
Anybody had same luck with hospitals?

Is it a phone call or an actual face to face?
Either way, it's good you are getting some attention.
It annoys me though that appointments that were booked months ago are overlooked. The NHS rightly put to the back of the queue people who don't keep appointments and don't inform them....pity they dont hold themselves to the same standards.

It's a face to face Syl, so I'd rather that anyway.

I've never had Tele-Doc checkup, or whatever you call it over there.
I know we have them.
I guess I could use it if I was really sick and didn't want to go to the hospital.
Knock on wood I haven't been sick since covid almost 5 years ago.

That's good news Mags.
He must be a great consultant if he managed to find a brain.

I havent need to see a doc for several years - it took an eternity to speak to a human and was told something like "We can fit you in 2 weeks on Tuesday" Wtf? I'd be either recovered or dead by then. From what I hear, it's even worse now.
I prefer the old school style of seeing a doc - turn up unannounced then sit in a waiting room full of coughing spluttering people blowing their noses. Pass the time reading a fishing mag and wait to be called. Not pleasant, but at least you were necking your medicine within a few hours of needing it.
Good luck Mags with your appointment.
