New - The things that really annoy you

[Derby Wolf]

apols for resurrecting an old theme.
Had an appt at the drs (but with a nurse) on 15 april. several days later, called for test results.
there is an anomaly in the blood test. ok, what is it? can't tell you, you need to discuss that with a dr. book me in then. no, you have to call at 8.15.
I have telephoned virtually every weekday since then. at 8.14 is an automated message saying the surgery is closed. at 8.15 that becomes a message that states their phone line is at capacity, and they cannot put me in a queue. This has been the same for 4 weeks now.
Aside from going to the surgery, I don't know what else to do.

As stated elsewhere, we've recently moved and registered at a new surgery, they've put my other half's repeat prescriptions on hold until she's spoken to the doctor so she's currently in a similar situation trying to sort an appointment before her meds run out.
