"Failing in their duty of care"

4 weeks: that's how long I've been trying to get an appointment. I'm a teacher with a new diagnosis of MS and have been forced back to full time work as I can't get a phased return sick note. Since I started trying, both my children have needed to see a doctor after asking advice from our local pharmacy. Still consistent engaged tone. If you go in, they become angry and insist that they only take appointments by phone. My self employed husband - a bricklayer - fell off a scaffold a few days ago, has a head injury, multiple bruising and a very swollen looking elbow: he laughed when I suggested going to the GP and is trying to work through it otherwise he does not get paid. Thank you for nothing Trent Meadows. You're more likely to see a medical practitioner going to Glastonbury festival (it's cheaper than going private and easier to get into). I have to laugh otherwise I'd cry with fear, hopelessness and panic.
