"Confused"

I am 77 years of age and I am finding it increasingly difficult to actually see a doctor face to face unless I am willing to wait a month or more for an appointment to make an appointment it is a matter of telephoning the surgery at 8-30 am getting a que number and waiting for a call back. The first stage is convincing the receptionist. When you finally get accepted it is very unlikely that you will actually talk to a GP instead you will be passed on to a Nurse or as just happened to me a Paramedic. What in gods name are the doctors doing.
