I walk to my Dr at the end of the road ... Do I get greenie points?

You may Ian. According to the article you may not even have to walk anywhere as it is a proposal that the Doctor will conduct the appointment via the telephone :roll: :roll: and the Consultant will come to the Health Centre as opposed to you travelling to the Hospital.

How do I cash my greenie points?

I understand that almost everyone who phoned the swine flu help line had a positive diag, & a prescription for Tamiflu ... after all, if the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, you see every problem as a nail :roll:

We have an extraordinary Dr - he is interested in the health of his patients, & will listen before prescribing :!: He will even explain the condition & non-medical options.
