Oh not again

I have been using that phrase quite a bit for obvious reasons.

Re: Doctors' surgeries

It's not that easy to see a doctor anymore.I did manage to see one about a month ago,but it was made that difficult I don't think I will bother again for some time until things ease off a bit.Just means like so many other people I will have to suffer with a much more serious problem for a bit/lot longer then necessary.

It's OK saying the doctors are still here for us treating other things outside Corvid, but it's not till you need to talk to one face to face you realize just how difficult that has been make and to somebody who suffers from anxiety and depression as well it's now almost impossible at the best of times.Hard enough just to make contact at times when things were normal.

I tried ringing my doctors surgery a few weeks back, it took me 41 attempts to get through, started at 8am (opening time) eventually got an answer at 9.40 am, what i diden't realise as i sat impatiently listening to "all our lines are busy" was that each attempt had cost me 38p....£15.58 ! Now you can book a "telephone consultation" only and the doctor will decide if he/she wants you to attend clinic.
