When we got back from holiday on Saturday I went to put a prescription in to the chemists, but being Sat afternoon they were closed. So I took it to the surgery, hoping it wouldn't take too long what with the Bank holiday etc - the chemists is usually the quickest.
Yesterday morning I got a lovely pleasant lady phone me from the surgery saying the doctor had done my prescription and it had been sent to the chemists! I mentioned I was due for my annual MOT and had had the required blood test 3 weeks ago but with going away I hadn't got round to booking an appointment. She offered to do it there and then. She offered an appointment for next week which I couldn't do, and ditto with the next two dates she offered. We found one when I was free eventually, but quite a change for it to be the patient who can't do an appointment rather than the medic!
She was very cheerful and helpful and I thought if I'd been feeling ill or down in the dumps she would really have cheered me up!
