Hi all, my local doctors are discouraging anyone from ringing unless they feel they really have to.
I have a non urgent issue but something that will need attention soon if that makes sense (think worrying symptom, convincing myself I have cancer type thing).
I put an e-consult in early Monday with a photo of said problem (thankfully easily photographed) and was told they would respond by Tuesday 6pm when they shut. I heard nothing and still haven’t today.
I am very aware that the nhs is under huge strain at the minute.
But I can’t help feel a little deflated. I don’t want to ring as I know they are busy. I have submitted a form linked from the initial confirmation email to say that I haven’t heard anything.
I’ll wait to the end of the day to see if hear anything and maybe ring tomorrow or submit again!
But I don’t want to feel like I’m pestering of wasting their time.
What would you do?
I have major anxiety about doctors and rarelyG go but I have health anxiety too!! So I’m driving myself mad thinking I’m going to drop dead of cancer (sorry ott I know but cannot relax at all).
