So today it looked like conjunctivitis (all the usual signs) in one of my eyes. I called surgery at 8am to arrange the Doctor's triage phonecall to get an appoinment, and was told by the receptionist, you need to go into Boots or Opticians to get that looked at... Eh
Apparently the surgery has been doing this for a while... 'See a doctor at Boots/Specsavers', never heard of that one... Anyway down to Boots and saw the pharmacist who gave me Chloramphenicol drops (Optrex)... Hopefully it will do the trick.
Anyone else heard of this happening? Basically the surgery went to 15mins appointments, and triage candidates for each day, everyone else gets 3 weeks hence appointments. So perhaps eye conditions get in the way and clog the system.
