Doctors are people too and I'm surprised they don't get ill more often, given who they are hands on with every day. Maybe there is a bug going round? I would have thought they'd have tried to get a locum in if that was the problem, but there is a national shortage of GPs.

I know it's getting worse, they just rang me with an appointment for this afternoon ,there must be a lot of people with the same  problem worse off than me ,so I'm lucky.

I am so genuinely sorry that you have a chest infection and that your immune system is so low. I also genuinely hope that you do not have to wait too long for an appointment at the pain clinic. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and that you feel better soon. Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you
