[QUOTE="Luciel, post: 2055333, member: 507100"] They aren't really the kind of place where getting an appointment (or through on the phone) is straightforward or easy. Last time I tried for an emergency appointment (via their website, as the phone was engaged constantly) I was ignored for 48 hours and then finally told via a phone consultation to go to a hospital GP the next day (who sent me straight to A&E). I know not all GPs are so terrible, but to put it into context they sometimes run the "doctor first" scheme without any doctors, they're a bit comedic in their terriblness. :D I'll try and see what they can do, but they are somewhat convinced that "I test too much" and that i'm testing for the sheer thrill and excitement of it. They are a bit strange and clueless at the best of times (insert story how they ignored my best friend for years and told her she was "having migraines"/"it's just teenage issues" before sending her to a professional doctor who quickly found out she'd been having transient ischemic attacks (or mini strokes))! I guess i'll have to contact the diabetic department at the hospital if the GP place is still being useless today! [/QUOTE]
