A Hell of a Week

[coming42]

Epistaxis! The clinical word for a nose bleed. On Monday evening whilst watching snooker I blew my nose - and the flood gates opened! With a box of tissues I was unable to staunch the bleeding, which was massive and prolonged. 15 minutes later, with a tissue stuffed up my nose, I managed to call NHS111. The clinician considered this serious enough

You poor thing, that is so debilitating.

GP surgeries!Yesterday, I was supposed to have a phone appointment with my GP, booked six weeks ago! He never called. I had to wait until two for the surgery to open again and a receptionist told me that the appointment was for next week and at a different time to what I had written down. Impossible that after double checking at the time I could get both the date and the time wrong. Someone had blundered.

I do hope you don't have another attack.

Nothing surprises me with the state of our GP service. At my practice it is virtually impossible to get a face-to-face consultation. I am going to buy a nose clamp as recommended by newwaytowrite...

Until I scrolled down and saw the picture of the actual nose clamp, I had a horrible image of you with a bulldog clip on your nose!

.'Orrible! Nosebleeds have always freaked me out. Hope you can get it sorted quickly, without having to wait until the 30th.
