I'm lucky my doctor doesn't have appointments, but its very rare I need to see him anyway as y condition is monitored by my consultant and now the community matrons and the COPD team. When I lived in Hassy my doctor had an appointment system, if I rang up for an appointment and was told it would be three or four days before there was an opening, I just said okay I'll have an house call, I'm ill now not in four days time, surprising how an opening suddenly appeared
