Been ill since I started here in Germany. Low grade fever, aches, pains, bowel pains, loose etc etc.
Caught something and I can't shift it. Gets worse at night or after any sort of exercise.
So first weekend back I went to the Walk In Centre in Luton. The doctors wasn't much help as I wasn't registered there, so said she couldn't organise any tests, but I should go and see my GP and ask him to investigate. She said I needed a raft of different blood tests and a stool sample.
So SY02 rang the doctors on the Monday. Weekend appointments booked up for the next 3 weeks. So I wait 3 weeks, then go and see the quack. Ooh you need blood tests and stuff can you come back in a week?
But your phlebotomist is right here in the surgery, right now?
Yep but you need an appointment, so you need to come back in a week.
But I've just waited 3, you want me to wait another week? Can't some sort of common sense be exercised here as I work away during the week?
Not a chance.
So now 4 weeks on I have the results of my blood tests back. All fine. Even my liver is working within agreed tolerances. How I don't know.
So I went back to the doctors to arrange the stool sample (why the **** didn't they organise this in the first place?)
Results back in today, all fine.
So what the **** is wrong with me? Am I so far biologically advanced that the doctors can't diagnose?
Is it worth going private or will this just be writing a blank cheque?

You've been complaining about some sort of sickness for the entire time you have been on here.
