[QUOTE="Hopeful34, post: 2399683, member: 378858"] I often wonder if the consultants have tried doing what they ask their patients to do!! I'd have found that impossible too.:banghead: I could book an appointment online pre Covid, and although you sometimes had to wait 3 or 4 days unless it was an emergency, that was fine, and at least you could choose who you wanted to see, and more important who you didn't want to see! Since Covid, up until this last appointment, you had to ring at 8 a.m and wait for a call back some time that day from someone at the surgery. If too many people had rung before you, you had to ring the next day. I guess at least this time I knew who was ringing me, but seems the receptionists are deciding the priority more and more. I agree about muscular and skeletal issues. If the exercises don't help, is there anyone else you could ask to see, or if you can, it might be worth trying to see someone privately, but as you say that's expensive. Hope the GP is helpful on Monday. Take care. [/QUOTE]
