I gave up trying to get a GP face to face a year ago.
WTF are they doing with their time?

God I would hate that.I know times are tough, I know the NHS is having to deal with unprecedented times. I get all that.
However, if I want a GP appointment I now have to telephone at 8am and then redial about 60 times (not joking here) before I can get through to someone. I'm then told (if I have found the Golden Ticket or just bloody lucky) that I will receive a telephone appointment "at some time today."
That's not a problem usually, but I then have to go to work where (as a key worker) I also have telephone appointments (scheduled at specific times, 10 minutes each all back to back).
So how does, say, a construction worker up a scaffold cope when they get the phone call??
Is it just my surgery like this or is it all of them?

Get some ear drops from the chemist to soften it ,use every day for a couple of weeks,it should come out on its own,my surgery wont syringe at the momentI could do with getting my ears syringed. The constant ringing won't disappear and they feel blocked.

My 80yo dad mentioned yesterday that his clinic is doing it now but only for those with hearing aids but yes it looks like olive oil for the rest of us. It's a bit more expensive but I find the Earol spray action is better rather than the drops because it's so easy to apply. Some people struggle bending their head to the side to get the drops in too.Get some ear drops from the chemist to soften it ,use every day for a couple of weeks,it should come out on its own,my surgery wont syringe at the moment
