So rang GPs in the morning appointment for afternoon……with a prescribing pharmacist.
She was quite abrupt, sats normal at 97, temp normal and chest clear……….told me I hadn’t got a chest infection but gave me 5 days of antibiotics just in case?
I wouldn’t have bothered them normally and only now because of it being 3 weeks, but now I wish I hadn’t……she did say if it didn’t clear up in a week then she’d organise a chest X-ray….. See more... |
How very dare you access health care that you are entitled to!
Jokes aside, that’s what they’re there for and it’s your right to access these services if you’re unwell, 3 weeks is a long time and they should not be trying to guilt trip you for seeking help!
Hope you start to feel better soon!
