this happened to me about a month back when i had scarlet fever, i phoned them up at 8.30am asked for an appointment, got told the earliest they could do was 4pm the next day, i said well if i describe my symptoms can you tell me if its safe to go to work? after saying rash and sore throat and panicking the the receptionist she magically found me a 9.10am appointment that day
Nightmare isn't it? Luckily, I don't believe my complaint is as bad as yours. I have a really sore, swollen nipple. Unless it's going to explode shortly I can probably wait 5 days.
