Last week I had an appointment and was rushed with explaining the problem I went to the doctor about. I was told I only had 10 minutes and to be quick. When I explained my symptoms I was asked, ‘well what do you want me to do about it?’ I also had a few other things I just wanted to touch base on, including asking a question about my under active thyroid, and asking the doctor to very quickly look at a mole that’s increased in size that my mum asked me to just have checked while I was there. I was rushed once more and told I only had 10 minutes for this appointment. When talking to the doctor about another, relatively urgent issue I was told she had no time to check me over and told me to make another appointment. With all this rushing I was in and out in about 8 minutes - with no resolutions! Today, I went in for my next appointment and sat waiting for 35 minutes to see the doctor. I have to say she was lovely but annoyingly gave me a name of a product to buy over the counter at the pharmacy (I double checked I didn’t need a prescription and was told I can definitely buy over the counter) I went to 2 pharmacies and was told I need a prescription - a absolute waste of my time!
