Have you paid a visit to your GP's surgery lately?

I had an appointment this afternoon to get my annual flu shot. I haven't been there since late last year and was a little reluctant to go but knew it was necessary.
What a pleasant surprise I got! There were two rows of seats placed directly in front of the screened off reception desk so you [b]couldn't[/b] get close and every chair in the waiting area was the regulatory distance apart. There were only three patients waiting including myself.
I was in and out in under 10 minutes and that included seeing both my GP and the Nurse who administered the injection.
Quick, organised and professional care on their behalf. Bravo! 馃憦

I saw my hematologist today in office. Didn't have to go through the waiting area at all (it's kind of partitioned off to the side). Everything was very clean.

@SwampFlower Excellent. I have a phone appointment scheduled for later this month with my Oncologist in lieu of an actual visit. I'm very relieved about that.

@Zoranna I hope that it all goes well. 馃 The clinics and hospitals aren't as scary as I thought they would be.

@SwampFlower Thank you and likewise, keep safe and as well as you can. 馃
I know, I was terrified at first then I got used to it, but they're not the best of places to be at the moment so if I don't have to go I'm delighted. lol

@Zoranna I've done a phone appointment too for my sleep apnea. I need a new machine,馃槖 but my insurance makes you do the sleep study all over again for it?! Because of the corona virus I got to pick up a machine for the test and do it at home, I was happy about that. 馃槉

@Peaches I'll bet you were! haha I too am more than happy to have phone appointments now and when my Oncologist gave me the choice for my next consultation, after the prescribed ongoing tests which I'll have to attend, I eagerly opted for a phone consultation, probably too eagerly! 馃き

@Zoranna I don't blame you! 馃鈽庯笍
