    Take unpaid time off and see your own GP, who will be happy to give you an appointment on Wednesday afternoon to maximise your unpaid time off.

        Just ring the local surgery, they'll normally give an appointment - would be a good idea to know your NHS number before you go.

          What is it, I'm sure we can help.

            Just google your symptoms and the internet will convince you which debilitating and terminal disease you have.

                  If so, do NOT rinse it in neat Dettol. You will NOT be able to explain the consequences to your other half.
                  Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

                    Phone 'NHS Direct', they will sort you out and get you into a local surgery.
