I had gout and couldn't get to the phone easily and I'm in a basement where my mobile doesn't work, you can't phone and make an appointment, you have to wait to be phoned back, so if you can't get to the phone then you can't speak to a doctor or make an appointment. It's awful!!
I ended up getting a friend to drive me to A&E (I couldn't walk at all), where finally one of the GPs got through to me and told me I was wasting A&E time (not a view that the wonderful people at A&E shared).
I couldn't get an appointment, and was made to feel awful when I was forced to resort to A&E.
