I have a bad cold, I sound awful (over the phone) but it is just a cold and obviously not serious..
My DD has woken up today with a really swollen eye and seems really unwell. I called the doctors and asked for an appointment for her and the receptionist said that if I was ill but didn't need an appointment for myself then I shouldn't come into the surgery where people can be immuno suppressed...
Now, I would never get a doctors appointment for what is just a cold, but my DD really does need to go and there is no one else available to take her as DH, friends and family are all at work!
I had a bit of an argument with her and she said I could have a phone consultation about my DD... But because I can't really just describe what's wrong with her I'm annoyed and I don't think that's the best care. Her eye is so swollen, she looks awful.
She deserves an appointment, AIBU?
