Doctors surgery Waiting times.?

Question

My old gran went to see her local GP about a problem and was waiting so long she was running late for a hairdressing appointment.

When he eventually got round to seeing her he told her that he would need to take a sample of blood, urine and faeces for laboratory tests.

On hearing this, she promptly took off her underwear and said "just take these, i'm late enough already!"

Doesn't this just highlight the problems with waiting times in our local surgeries. what do you think?

EDIT:

This reminds me of a granny joke.

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said, '"Mabel, do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?"

She pulled it out and stared at it! Then she said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where to find my hearing aid."

Well one things for sure.  Under a nationized health care system,  the waiting time will be a lot longer than that.  Also, Doctors pockets are only getting smaller. You satrt taking too much and doctors will be leaving the country and the insentive for new ones will not be very high. Less doctors more people =  disaster at the hospitals.

Answer 13

I think our GP's do a wonderful job, lay off 'em.  Believe me, I know.

Answer 14

My surgery has more of a problem with its appointments system. To see the doctor of your choice, schedule illness at least 6 weeks in advance, to see the gender of your choice at least 2 weeks in advance, otherwise ring on the day and if your lucky and the receptionist thinks you're sick enough, you just might get an appointment.

Maybe the doctors are on YA in between appointments, can't imagine why it would take quite so long otherwise....

Answer 15

Haha!

Lucky for me,the surgery I attend is very well run,and there are no long waits for appointments or hanging about to see a doctor.

By the way,even though we get 'free' prescriptions and eventually 'free' parking at hospitals,here in Wales,the money is still taken out of the health budget,so we lose out in other areas of the health service.England,you've been warned!

Answer 16

I remember taking both my sons to hospital to be officially discharged after a recent spell as in-patients with asthma.  Unfortunately, the files had been mislaid and we spent several hours waiting...and waiting. Mercifully there was a good supply of toys. When eventually we were called in my elder boy looked up in some irritation and commented: "I'm busy!" and went on playing. To be fair, the consultant and the medical students all laughed and agreed with his point of view!

I have an incredible advantage of living round the corner from our doctor's surgery and so when there is a really long wait I can sneak off home and have a cup of tea. Moreover, there is plenty of seating space. My parents used to have to wait in a surgery where there was no seating room to speak of, which was completely inhumane, especially for old people.
