So if I hadn't have said it was the Dr's and replaced with say, John Lewis would you have jumped straight to the 'balance' wank? 

 

If you had bothered to read on, I said when it's urgent they're brilliant.  I have several friends and family who work for the NHS.  Someone to keep repeating 'email' without acknowledging I have tried that makes them Teflon because they work in the NHS does it?

They've introduced an online triage system at my GPs which started last year and it's  worked in general but I'd support Wykiki in that the meds review system seems to be shit within that. 

 

I requested an appointment online twice and got texts with booking links only to find no appointments available when I tried those links. I had to ring in the end and eventually got an appointment (tomorrow as it happens) which meant having to renew my prescription manually in writing (FFS) just before Christmas. 

 

This for a review of three drugs, two of which I've been told are for life anyway.

Tried getting a docs appointment this morning for a review of my meds

 

'Good morning can I book an appointment for a review of my meds'

'We are only taking appointments that require to see the Dr urgently'

'I have tried to do this online, but it says ring'

'Can you email on the following? blah blah'

'I emailed that and got a reply to call'

'That's the protocol'

'Yes, I have done that but got the reply to call.  I waited a week, nothing happened so I am calling'

'If you send an email we can schedule something'

 

Why is it so fucking difficult to schedule something?

 

Sounds like my GP. 

Saw the GP a few weeks ago because I was running out of topical drugs to treat my eczema, which I could feel was flaring up, but wasn't that bad at that time. Being proactive based on decades of personal experience. She was absolutely obnoxious, gave me a prescription then and there and told me to self refer to secondary care if I felt it was getting on top of me (I think this was partly because I refused to have UV therapy for a lot of reasons).  So anyway, today I try to get a repeat prescription on my NHS app and she has stopped everything. No medication review, nothing, just stopped my prescription without even telling me. So now a flare is pretty inevitable which will mean I get genuinely ill and will need antibiotics. Going ther in person this afternoon which I can do as its near but still. 

Oh aye, and cos of global shortages, made much worse by Brexit, even once I get the prescription it will take weeks for some products to get dispensed if at all. Primary care is a shambles and needs to be the focus of NHS reform imo.

Maybe time to get the fuck off Instagram, Facebook and so on. I honestly think it’s the only the weapon we’ve got if Zuckerberg is going to suck Trump’s cock for profit. You’ll probably feel better for it too after you’ve got used to it.

This. Mass social media exodus would probably do a lot of people the world of good anyway.

Came off Insta in November(ish) as I was sick of it.  Feel loads better since. Unfortunately I have a 'ghost account' on FB just for my cycle club.  Loads have asked for us to switch to a different way but the cunts on the committee are not for budging. Hopefully that will change as we have some younger representation on there now.

I’m going to try hard to make it this place plus Bluesky to keep with news, away games, fixtures etc. for Heaton Stannington. They’ve all caved in to Trump. Even Amazon are giving Melanie Trump a fortune to make a film or some bollocks.

Facebook has made it simple for me by refusing to allow me to create an account.

Don't really want one but I used to be able to view my local football club's page. Now, if I do it requires me to sign in after a couple of posts.
