Now I know we are in and have been for a while a pandemic but I'm not sure why you can't get to see a doctor. There are going to be a heck of a lot of people that are going to suffer due to this.
Doctors these days dont want to actually see patients. I can understand when people go to see them for really minor things (these days a cut is the end of the world) but covid seems to have sorted a lot out. But they have had an easier life since covid unlike hospitals who take the brunt of whom the doctors dont see:0(

That's exactly what they will do it will be a referral to my local small hospital who won't have access to my records so I will spend half an hour as to what I've been through recently and then do nothing as they can't. So it would probably then be a referral to the main hospital

All that seems seems to be a total waste of everyone's time and money when If I could get to speak to my doctor she has everything at her finger tips and knows me so could refer me directly to my consultant.

Seems to me the folks in your doctor's office should realize your case is special and you should be treated special and be able to see the doctor whenever you feel the need.

Well things are always like buses they all come at once. I was waiting for a call back from the docs when I got a text message saying I had not turned up for my appointment at the surgery please call to make another hmmm.
So gave them a call and said I thought I was getting a phone call so the receptionist looked and said yes I was the new receptionist had pressed the wrong thing so re booked me for a phone call again that day.
So waited for the call when I got another text saying I had an appointment with my consultant at the hospital then literally a minute later the doctors called .
So after telling her what was going on she was very keen for me to go in and see her. Which I said I would do if things got any worse because I would rather go and see my consultant seeing as he did the operations so knows what he did and will hopefully know what to do. So I now have an open ticket to actually go and see a real doctor if things get any worse b4 I get to the hospital..

And literally 5 mins after putting the phone down the postman delivered a letter from the hospital.
