GP - Walk in Centre

[TopCat]

My useless twat of a Doctor's has no appointments until 13th Nov (unless I call in at 0800 every morning to try and get one on the day - something that isn't convenient as I work 20 miles way from home) and I urgently need to see a doctor for (suspected) nerve damage in my back.
Is this something I can go to a wlk-in-centre with? Ultimately I'm looking for a referal for a scan to see what the damage is.
Alternatively, can I pay to see a private GP? Do such things even exist?

Any advice?

Walking isn't the problem. I can stand, walk and lie down without any pain. It's when I sit at my desk, or drive that I'm in constant pain

Doesn’t sound that urgent to be fair.

Sounds like you need a new chair not a doctor.

There’s a walk-in at Pallion Health Centre.

Hardly

Ask your husband to have a look at it

My physio referred me for a scan. I paid for the scan mind

I reckon yoga would sort you out.

111

Or just go to the surgery and say you'll wait until somebody see's you. They will.

That's fine. I don't mind paying, I just need the referral

Call your doctor at 8am instead of going there.

He doesn't sound that useless to me if he's fully booked for a month.

So it's ok to fully book your diary and leave no slots for in-day urgent apts? People have to give notice of being sick ?

It's the referral for an MRI that I'm after, I don't expect that useless sack of shit a) care, b) cure me, or c) be anything other than a lazy fuck
