    Can your GP turn you away

    OK, so I havent made an appointment, purely because I cant plan in advance when I will next be ill and to get an appointment you need to book about 4 days in advance.

    So since yesterday I am rather unwell and will visit my local GP. Can he turn me away without an appointment or do they have to see me?

    Phone and ask for an emergency appointment. Do it at 8am to see the GP in the morning, 12pm for the afternoon.

        Tell your GP you've just got back from Mexico and don't feel very well.

            Oh, an excuse to use one of my favourite sentences.

            I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness.

              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                If I am really ill then I go to the hospital.

                Doctors not only cannot write legibly : they also have to have cold hands.

                  Cold hands - Well that could depend on what and where is wrong. Could be an embarrassing outcome
