My ear has been a problem while I was on holiday and still is and Mal told me to go back to the docs. The only way is to queue outside at 8am or you don’t stand a chance of getting an appointment. I did try phoning last week and the receptionist just told me to ring on Tuesday and make an appointment to see a “practitioner” OR a doc in 6 weeks time!! So, I tried the queuing method.
I was 5th in the queue at 7.50! Then it grew in the next ten minutes. So many waiting when they opened the doors that two of the practitioners started calling people into their offices to make appointments. I was lucky I had the one I did. She asked me loads of questions, looked up my notes and said as I had been twice before with the same problem then I needed to see a doc and one would phone me. I was on the way home when the doc phoned, again lots of questions and then said I needed to see a doc and gave me an appointment for later on in the day!
I went back to see the doc and she had more questions, and looked in my ears said she would not give me antibiotics as the last ones had but different ear drops and made another appointment to return in two weeks time.
