#BookingAnAppointment was #SimplicityItself and #VeryQuick (within 24-hours)... #MyGP recommended some #VeryCommon and #VeryCheap #Medication and some #SmokingCessation; but, because he was also #ChronicallyObese, I also #Recommended that he try #WorkingOut maybe #TwoToThree #TimesPerWeek and #NotSitting #BehindADesk #AllHisWorkingLife...

That seemed like a #FairTransaction, right... | #LookNoQuestionMark

There will be a #FollowUp #InSoFar as I have an #ECG #Booked for #NextWeek and "they" also want a #UrineSample to #MakeSure I'm not #PreDiabetic, which I #AlreadyKnow I'm not...

What?

I need to order a repeat prescription so I don't run out of meds post Christmas.
Except my local GP surgery has a website that only works during opening hours and has now closed for Christmas and New Year!
Why? Closing the practice is fine, but closing a website?

I couldn't order sooner as it was too soon to reorder!🤦‍♂️
