Same for a friend of mine. Been suffering with hip and walking for the last 2 weeks. Phoned surgery for an appointment . Given one for 2 weeks time .... by telephone. She said the doc will probably tell her she's got an ear infection ! Seems clear that many are having the same problem, nationwide .

Really very sorry to hear of your story/ traumas with your health and the NHS, Longnails.What awful experiences, that don't help the stress levels.
I have heard many really bad reports of A & E at AP. over the last few years. Make a complaint and they all close ranks and it goes nowhere. Also some of the Ambulance crews don't have the greatest attitude.
It would be interesting to know why it's so difficult to get appointments at some GP's practices too. How having a telephone appointment, to be followed up by a visiting appointment make things easier , I don't know. That's 2 appointments which could have been just 1.
Hope you feel better soon, Longnails.

Looks as if you're in a worse place than we are, moretonkiwi . We only hear what goes on in our little island these days. Very self centred really, because all it leads to is constant demands off the public wanting more and more, as no one can see how others suffer in similar or in many cases of a differnt nature, much worse than we do in UK.
I love this country, but wish that as a nation we could be so much more positive. We have truly become a nation of miserable , disatisfied and moaning about eveything people, with the help from the media and politicians. It's not good for our children and it leads to depression in minds that are unable to grasp or understand our negative view all the time . Children are full of life and happiness but keep getting shut down by listening to the moans and groans of society. What miserable beings we are and have turned them into.

Also some of the Ambulance crews don't have the greatest attitude. I'm surprised to hear that, all the ambulance crews I've come across have been brilliant. I guess they have to have their off days, some patients are terribly uncooperative and crews must be bored out of their skulls when they have to wait in 4 hour queues at APH, not just waiting with patients on trolleys in corridors but also getting the admittance admin sorted out can take many hours on some occasions. The last time I was with a crew member they were pleased to get the admin cleared in less than one and a half hours and said it had been three hours the day before. On my way out on the same occasion one of the long corridors was chocker with trolleys and ambulance crews who were looking brain-dead from the wait, then I found the queue carried on round the corner. If over half your shift is spent waiting in queues it has got to be psychologically damaging plus with that sort of time granularity, the odds of finishing your shift anywhere near on time has got to be low. There should be take-over staff at the hospital to let the ambulance crews do their jobs instead of becoming one of Lewis's.
