how do you go about seeing a GP whilst working away from home ?

Take unpaid time off and see your own GP, who will be happy to give you an appointment on Wednesday afternoon to maximise your unpaid time off.

if in the uk, try a medicentre or nhs walk in centre

Just ring the local surgery, they'll normally give an appointment - would be a good idea to know your NHS number before you go.

Just google your symptoms and the internet will convince you which debilitating and terminal disease you have.

no illness, just wondering, as you never know

Aww c'mon, that can't be true! If it is that's waay too organised.

If so, do NOT rinse it in neat Dettol. You will NOT be able to explain the consequences to your other half.

Phone 'NHS Direct', they will sort you out and get you into a local surgery.
