hathycolRIGHT I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT STAR TREK AND THE MURDEROUS SPARROW SOON I PROMISE but I really, really need to have a incoherant rant about the fucking uselessness of my fucking GP clinic and ARGH.
So today I went to have a chat with the nurse about changing my contraceptive and DESPITE THE FACT I had to tell the receptionist what it was about THEY BOOKED ME ON THE WRONG APPOINTMENT AGAIN so she couldn't DO anything other than go "hmmm," a lot and tell me about the doctor I needed to make the ACTUAL APPOINTMENT with. So I went back out the receptionist to try and get said appointment. "What's it about?" he asked and once again I drew myself up my full height and said "I'm actually not going to discuss that" which made me feel slightly better.
BUT CAN I GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SPECIALIST DOCTOR? I CANNOT. I resisted the urge to wail "DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST GET PREGNANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING RIGHT NOW."
So now I'm looking up family planning clinics and resigning myself to hoping for the best because actually oh my goodness this is RIDICULOUS. I'm writing a lot in allcaps to try and disguise the fact that I am actually a little upset at all this.

Date: 2014-06-03 05:38 pm (UTC)(At the surgery where I worked, people booking appointments with the nurses were asked what it was for, because we needed to book an appointment with the right timeslot and make sure the nurse knew what it was about so they could prepare properly (like having the equipment ready for taking blood, or doing an asthma check), but not in any great detail. And considering the fact that they got it wrong the first time, I wouldn't want to have to tell them again.
