"It is all but impossible to get a same day appointment unless you can be one of the first to have your call answered at 0830hrs or sit in the surgery waiting for the reception to open. I work in Birmingham and getting an appointment, even for later in the day is near impossible.
The best doctor to see understood ex-service personnel and had time to sit and discuss your concerns. Since he moved on to other things I have not found a doctor who does not simply want to get you in and out the door again as far as possible. I appreciate and understand the doctors are busy, but sometimes taking a moment to ask a question opens up the real reason for a visit. I have, several times, gone to see a doctor but ended up not covering the thing I wanted to talk about because I felt obliged to simply get in and out.
I was ill earlier this week, but couldn't get an appointment this week, so ended up calling 111 and getting into a drop in centre close to my work place, not ideal, but very friendly staff. :-)
The surgery is good, don't get me wrong, but the doctors are just too busy to actually be able to care."
