Medical checkup
Unbelievable. I just called my Dr's office to schedule my annual physical which I have about this time every year, only to be told I cant be seen until Jan 15th NEXT YEAR!!!
I'm so glad we pay $$$$ for insurance in this country, Rob |

Re: Medical checkup
I'm confused. Don't you have bloodwork done a week before the actual physical, that way, they have the results when they push and poke you, so to speak..

Our township (hate that word) isn't big and it might be possible to recognise someone from the doc's description. |

in the uk if your condition is urgent then by law your dr or 'a' dr from your surgery has to see you 'on the day', daily extra emergency appts are always kept back for that reason....if it's an emergency then off to the hospital you go. |

I'm so glad we pay $$$$ for insurance in this country, Rob I am so grateful to have yearly medicals that I am happy to book early--none of us ever had a medical or any preventative care in the UK. |

Is that really an actual law? My surgery didn't hold any emergency appts. I waited 2 weeks to get my child in for asthma/pneumonia--went to a walk-in and then paid for private in the meantime. Our surgery was standard 2-3 week or go to A&E. |
