I bet when that guy embarked on his acting career he'd never have believed he would have been landing lead roles so quickly in his wildest dreams!!!

His mates must be having field day!

Do we assume you were straining at the time you wrote the title for this? Missed the Capital and threw in an extra 's' in the middle of a push?

90% of those constipated chunts are here in General.

Errrrm....I guess you actually mean yourself

They aren't too embarrassed.

They phone up and the receptionist says they aren't urgent so they don't get an appointment.

You tell the receptionist why you need to see the doctor? How open of you.

Embarrassing bodies. A series about people with conditions too embarrassing to see their doctor about. But they are happy to share with 4 million viewers.

You tell the receptionist why you need to see the doctor? How open of you.

Receptionists in many surgeries often ask as they are told by GP partners to limit appointments to those who need it.

In my case I was once told of by a GP for not insisting I needed an appointment immediately. (Though that GP couldn't work out what was wrong with me but a GP friend of a mate saw it and knew immediately.)

I then learnt to go into great graphic detail about what was wrong at each practice I've joined and oddly receptionists have stopped asking.....

They actually did a catch up program where they explained why people came on the program after the first few series.

In many of the cases the people have GPs who won't help them.

One case like that was a guy who had a fistula that was leaking poop and infected. His GP though it was OK to leave the guy wearing his wife's sanitary towels for 3 years. The hole took over another year to heal completely and needed treatment every few weeks.

In other cases they can't get the treatment on the NHS e.g. loose skin from weight loss, smelling.

They'll miss the aroma, I know I would.
