Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday.

Blood pressure medication reduced.

Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered.

A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month.

Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment.

Session Thursday.

My pharmacist caught something similar for me. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.
