Tried NHS direct
or do you need to make an appointment?

I could try NHS24
(we don't have NHS Direct in Scotland any more) but they would most likely tell me to see a GP

I've had that problem
and I find it generally works better if you turn up at the surgery at doors open; the receptionists ignore phones a lot more readily than someone standing there.

doesn't work here
I've been there in the waiting room and seen people try that and they've been sent away to phone in. it's crazy

So you could conceivably stand in reception, 2 feet away from the receptionist
and call on your mobile phone for an appointment?

The world's gone mad, I tell you.

they'd probably tell you
there were none left for the day and to call again in the morning

Or tell you that mobile phones are not to be used
in doctors surgeries because of interfering with dialysis machines or kettles or something.

I would stand at reception and call them on my mobile.
