Can your GP turn you away

[Slumdog]

OK, so I havent made an appointment, purely because I cant plan in advance when I will next be ill and to get an appointment you need to book about 4 days in advance.

So since yesterday I am rather unwell and will visit my local GP. Can he turn me away without an appointment or do they have to see me?

Phone and ask for an emergency appointment. Do it at 8am to see the GP in the morning, 12pm for the afternoon.

Best check with your GP.

If I am really ill then I go to the hospital.

Doctors not only cannot write legibly : they also have to have cold hands.

Cold hands - Well that could depend on what and where is wrong. Could be an embarrassing outcome
