Stupid Doctors and their Stupid Receptionists

My doctors isn't too bad..

If I ring up I can get an appointment for the same day or the next day.. except 5:30-6 is reserved for people who become pretty seriously ill during the day to get an emergency appointment.. which is a pain in the arse 'cause that's the only time I could go after work without having time off.

cant say any of the practices up here work like that thats completely insane! Up here u just fone whenever and try get an appointment for whenever suits, can take a good few days before an free spot comes up in their lists but hell its better than that id say!!

It's the same at my doctors, they have an evening surgery from 4.30 - 6.30 for people who are working though so you have that option. TBH when i go to the docs its normally a decision on the night before and i dont like hanging around so i think on day appointments are good for that. Although at my surgery its a different doctor who does the on day appointments each day so you never know who you are going to see if you go down that route and some of them are wankers.

how about you all pay twice as much tax so the NHS can get sorted out....thought not!

count yourselves lucky that you have access to a doctors at all!I know it isn't the best but it's better than a lot

they are hardly going to keep every afternoon free 'just incase' some people fancy turning up to be seen are they!

That's because they're checking everything else is in working order too.
Plus, a lot of medical problems start somewhere else in the body.

A lot of people have your attitude (I sometimes feel the same when I see one of the incompetent doctors at my practice), but they do still know more than you. That's why I don't like general practice though, they know a little about everything and not enough about anything...

My point exactly. It's quite often people get referred for suspected cancer, and it turns out to be nothing. Or even worse, GPs tell people there's nothingwrong, and it turns out to be something very serious...

Better to be safe than sorry

That doesn't help either. After all, it's only suspected, and for the majority of petients, it turns out not to be, but it does make people shit themselves, especially when they have to wait up to two weeks for an appointment...

my doctors are shit, one of them is called Dr Pain, and hes a right knob, doesnt have a fucking clue, and i dont even think he can speak english, ive never actually heard what hes had to say though, coz he mutters under his breath, and im sure its in german!!

Ive been back and forwards for 5 years about my jaw which was broken and hasnt healed properly, i go in, and he does totally non jaw related stuff, and tells me im ok, i just need some physio or maybe an op....well then im quite obviously not ok then am i??? it took them 2 years after breaking my jaw to refer me to physio, and that was only after my jaw totally fucked and i was in agony....doctors are shit!!!

Mine's not too bad, but you can't make same day appointments, you have to make one up to four days after you need to go, there's an emergency surgery but you have to be there for 10 and you oculd be waiting upto 3 hrs :wtf: I got an emergency hospital appointment in AUGUST for NOVEMBER for a cancer check how wanky is that, i'm going to have to wait 3 months to find out if i'm ill or not. It's disgusting.

thats what mines like, and he never looks you in the eye, he holds his head down to the floor when hes mumbling at you, i dont like a man who cant look me in the eye....means theyve got something to hide :evil:

I used to have to get my mam to translate what my old doctor was saying... mr machenda he was called... good bloke tho

This is why I only ever see British/American doctors. Not a racial thing, doctors from outside the British Isles may be far more qualified, but more often than not, you can't understand a fucking word they say...

i know, it makes me scared of actually going to the doctors!

...."yes, you have an appointment at 10:30 with DOCTOR PAIN!!" :evil:

are you still here?

i wasn't talking about that, i was stating that i foned to make an appointment for sum point over the next few weeks like i always have dun and i was told thats now not possible.

it is technically life threatening my smoking but not in the right way...

i just want to see my sodding doctor! grr...

actualyl foned up this morning, put credit on my fone last night and set my alarm for 8.15.

it opens at 8.15am, all appointments have to be made by 8.30am.

i foned and foned and got engaged tones until 8.40 and then was told that there are no appointments today and i have to fone back 2mrw.

i think i might change surgerys...i want to see a doctor/nurse sum point b4 i die.

i still sign on but dont get ne money cos i earn more than £5 a week :spangled:
