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

We in the ol USA call them offices馃樂 But I haven't "been" in a while.

Doctors are men of Science,unlike our leaders so I'm not surprised and I'm glad you had a quick and safe experience馃槉

@bookerdana Offices for GPs, interesting. Our specialists have "Rooms". lol
Yes, I agree with you on that point! My GP is a lovely caring lady and told me to make a "double appointment" next time so we can have time for a chat. 馃槍
Thank you, it was super quick and my arm isn't even aching ... well not yet anyway. 馃き

@Zoranna My GP /Primary Care physician retired just before the pandemic馃サ That puts me in a sticky wicket as I doubt anyone but Urgent Care would see me.馃様
ZorannaF
@bookerdana Oh no! I do hope you don't have any reason to require any care until you can find yourself a new GP. It must be an awful feeling though, you do build up a relationship of trust with your doctor. Sincere best wishes, keep safe.

@Zoranna I have the name of a new doc but my former physician was a DO who practiced complementary /preventative medicine. She once drove to the office at 1am on Christmas eve to stitch my hand which I had cut opening my Christmas tree,so she was kind of special.Thank you,I guess like everyone I'll have to work it out as things happen
ZorannaF
@bookerdana She sounds very special indeed and I understand how much you'll miss her. 馃様 You will work it out but I hope the need to is much later than sooner. Take care.

@Zoranna In a pinch I have Urgent Care(which is not the ER)
They are as good as any physician in my experience.... and my Health Care covers the visit!
Thanks again

@bookerdana That's great! You're welcome. 馃槍
