Gp telephone appointments

I have a telephone appointment with a gp tomorrow. It doesn't botheer me having a phone appointment as it is just to discuss the results of a blood test. The thing that bugs me is that there is no time slot for the appointment. I get that they can run behind. I am just paranoid about talking to the doctor if they phone when i am doing a number 2.

Yes it's awful waiting for the call and worrying you'll miss it. I live in an area with terrible signal so a few times the call has gone straight to voicemail. This is even if you manage to get through in the extremely narrow call window in the morning to get an appointment.

Yeah I find it really annoying, if they can make a time slot for in person apps, why can’t they do it for phone calls?

I took my phone everywhere- including the loo. Gp won’t know if you’re on the loo- unless you flush,of course!
