You can get your horoscope done for that .I want to see the Doctor not hear him .How would he treat Tommy before a Pinball tournament if he was unwell?

Three months ago I did the same as I go every year--got bloods done prior to looking for appointment so I would get full NCT--rang for appointment, told the story and was told a phone consultation was appropriate at a cost EU70--I asked how does he check heart /chest etc on phone --Ok ,you can have an appointment  !!

Talk about Premium Phone Lines !

I think GP's get paid €40 by the Govt for your 'free' phone Covid consultation.  So if you're getting charged for a covid-related phone call, you might be being ripped off.

Think that we might have to accept that they may be under considerable pressure at the moment, even if they have a big group practice.

Dont know Robbie if you have a Medical card the Doc is only paid a flat fee no matter how often he sees you so why bother .When I mentioned Cash as in cash not credit card or VHI it didnt take long to get an appointment .Just like the guy you gave me last week got an appointment next day .Im sure that Docs are over run with people who think they are sick so have to do their own triage .If they think you have the Virus they will send you for a test but wont want you in their Hut .Doc says to me what are your Symptoms .I say Drinking to much ,not exercising ,Stressed out, no coin totally pissed off .Light headedness .Probably Physchosymmatic  giving him a Ton and change might sort me out a Professional telling me Im a Lazy Drunk or I need A rebore   might be good medicine .Think its important you look after yourself like you would of before the China Cold .

Hal mental health is important ,most lads can recognize a pain in the belly or balls dealing with your head is different .I dont think I have the Dreaded Lurgy but I have been swamping Porter sitting around doing fuck all no motivation to do fuck all .I have no problems saying I need to talk to somebody and who better than the Doc who knows you .

Is there a 'Mens Shed' in your area?  Might be cheaper and they might let you drink there

I was off the Porter for about 4 months only went back on it in December Watty .I bought into this from the start thinking a few months and we would be back, its the unknowing that gets to me .Was going to go back to College but they told me I couldnt even though I told them that the July Jobs initiative said I could .Took me six months and loads of e mails to Heather to finally get a Letter from her informing me I do qualify for Training Grants and can continue to claim PUP while in training .Thats a big part of this Pandemonium nobody seems to know what the fuck is going on or nobody really cares .You saw it here when Lads wanted to go back to work trying to get NCTs ,Suitability or Licence renewals nobody knew how it worked .The country is falling apart and the Dail is still on their Christmas Break .Tonight on telly An Unelected Doctor from Nephed which are the equivalent to the Taxi advisory Commission formed on the exact same legislation and the head of the HSE which before this was failing badly and a Smiley youngone from Virgin Media are on the Telly Shouting Wolf .
