if i'm calling to see a doc, i really don't have 3 weeks!
Shelly31 (Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:44 pm)
i've heard that. seems a little odd to me
Shelly31 (Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:44 pm)
and of course it's really busy and constantly engaged, so by the time you get through all the appts have gone
Catmint (Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:44 pm)
here, if you want a same-day appointment, you have to phone up the moment the surgery opens (you can't make one for the next day - if you want an appt for a different day you have to book about 3 weeks in advance)
