Don't uyou just want to scream at GPs?

I've got a badly inflmaed knee joint. Its painful and stiff and has been getting worse for about a week now. Struggled up to GP after 3 days of ibuprofen failed to make any difference.

GP's solution - go home, take ibuprofen and rest the leg - don't wlak on it for 3 days.

How in HELL'S NAME do they think you can do that with an 18mo? Forget fancy helplines or pretty bags with a couple of freebie books and pack of crayons in. Why can't every parent get childcare vouchers for use when they are ill or incapacitated?
