All are very well organised for everyone's safety and are done quite quickly. Flu jabs at my local GP and Covid at the larger group practice. However, it is still almost impossible to get to see a doctor. I don't know what the solution is but surely 5 minutes with one's GP would save an awful lot of stress and messing about on all fronts.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-32231679820791191972021-11-12T10:55:07.054-08:002021-11-12T10:55:07.054-08:00No Linrarian I didn't get a walk in - I got al...No Linrarian I didn't get a walk in - I got all togged up, opened the garage door and it was pouring with rain. Came in, took off my coat and the sun came out so gave it up as a bad job. Interesting responses - and varied = to GP Practices. I did not intend to criticise our Medical Ceentre - they have organised Covid vaccinations in the area and they have been excellently done. The ordinary flu jabs, as usual, have been done at the practice and as usual went like clockwork. I would just like to be able to be face to face with a GP to discuss an issue but this is only possible after a long rigmarole.<br />Thank you for the advice on getting lost posts back - I shall try it next time I lose one.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-77450864358330883112021-11-12T10:51:36.128-08:002021-11-12T10:51:36.128-08:00Medical care has changed sooo much in my lifetime ...Medical care has changed sooo much in my lifetime here in the USA too, so I think it has everywhere. When I was a child the doctor came to the house to check you out, if you were sick.

You should be able to find them in the list of your own posts as a draft.<br />Here in Germany, GPs are surprisingly few and far between - especially if you happen to live not in a big city. Elderly GPs who wish to retire have great difficulties in finding someone young to take over, as the average GP has a huge workload and does not earn all that much. It's only the highly specialised doctors who can really fulfill the cliché of the rich doctor who plays golf most of the week.<br />Covid has made things more difficult for our GPs here, since they can not see as many people as they used to, what with the reduced number of people allowed in the waiting rooms at the same time, and the additional time needed to register everyone, and some of their staff quarantined and/or ill.<br />I hope you did get a walk in and made it back home without getting wet!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-7744584545461490592021-11-12T09:02:30.546-08:002021-11-12T09:02:30.546-08:00That is key I was describing to Weave in my commen...That is key I was describing to Weave in my comment above.

Even medical staff looks reduced. The parking lots are now the waiting rooms. People sit in their car and wait to be telephoned and given the okay to come inside for their scheduled appointment. Unless a patient insists, follow-up appointments are not automatically arranged in many cases. All this is related to Covid.

Round here where I live, it still remains as Rachel describes it. It appears that the minute the receptionists start work they switch their phones to an automated message that tells you they're busy and you can ring all day long and not get through. Before Covid we used to moan if we got an appointment in a week's time, now we're lucky if anybody answers the phone to offer you an appointment. As for Sarah Browne's experience, well that kind of service is just a distant memory to me.
