General Practitioners Receptionistsm don't you just love em?

[rapparee]

Got a problem with my right eye, like someone has chucked a bag of sand in my face, so goes to book an appointment, receptionist asks me what the problem is, tell her and the answer was best if you try some over the counter remedies first, so looking at all the deadbeats sitting in the waiting room, I think OK I'll do just that.
Two weeks later still the same, so books an appointment with the GP a Chinese Guy very nice, seen him before, he has two Students with him, "did I mind ?" of course not 45 mins later I come out with a diagnosis "Conjunctivitis" 3 prescriptions, and why didn't I come sooner, makes you wonder, or it did me. Rant over.

Were you silly enough to look into someone welding?

I learnt that the hard way at age 15.

I also notice when I get out of work and go the dentist, it is always full of Eastern Europeans, none of whom actually have to pay because they don't work.

I of course always have to pay even though I pay more in tax than these people.

It's not so bad.

The company I work took us in for a presentation last week, apparently we now have private health insurance, we have a certain budget each year and 24/7 access to a video chat with a GP, claim back dentist and optician costs.

We can also skip the queue to get mri scans and that. This thread has just reminded me that I must formally sign up for it.
