I feel so bad right now and I got to wait a week and Ive got baby to look after also.
Anyone else had to wait a while for an appointment?

Doctors surgery appointments are a joke in the UK at the moment.
Here in my town, you have to call between 8-9 in order to try and get an appointment for that day.

If it's that urgent, off to the nearest casualty dept./ER and wait

@Picklebobble2 That sucks. Hope health care will improve in the coming years for our british friends

@PimpHerOut It's not normally as bad as that. Since this BREXIT thing kicked off, the government has been cutting costs and expenses to the things they'd normally fund adequately.
So of course, first thing to go is NHS funding for everyone.

@Picklebobble2 I see. Didnt think brexit consequences would come that fast and in health care areafirst. Still very understandable for me that people wanted to leave the EU. Cant blame them

@PimpHerOut Oh well there are all kinds of reasons for that.
Once Thatcher had sold off just about everything the country owned, oil; gas; car manufacture; plane manufacture; etc. we had little left to compete with.
And once France and Germany decided they wanted a universal currency,we knew we'd been shafted !
