Is there more chance of catching something from the GPs waiting room?

DS needs a routine gp appointment but at this time of year there seems to be so many viruses and bugs going round. Would there be more chance of catching something in a GPs waiting room?

Im just wondering if its' worth the risk this close to Christmas.

I wouldn't!

If it can wait leave it til mid jan better still the end

That's what I was thinking, there are horrible things going round now, would hate to come out worse off than going in!

Plus they are full of people wanting repeats to last them over Xmas. The wait could be longer than usual!

Stay away stay away :)

It is nice to have someone of the same mind-set to reassure me. Thank you.
