Getting a doctor's appointment

MAD ! money-mouth

So you have to ring the surgery from 08:00 sharp to get an appointment.

I rang at 07:59:30 and got a "The surgery is now closed.." recorded message

Ringing straight back I got through to the multiple selection recorded options, listened through the Covid and other housekeeping tripe and finally selected "1" for appointments.

Now I MUST have been among the very first few callers right?

So why did I have to spend the NEXT 20 MINUTES listening to

 

wholly inappropriate recorded music interspersed with recorded

 

reassurances that "MY CALL IS IMPORTANT...." 

 

- presumably each one repeating whenever

 

someone ELSE got answered ahead of me????

 

If my call was so goddam important then

 

SURELY they would USE A QUEUING SYSTEM?

 

It's NOT rocket science and they are DEFINITELY

 

earning enough to warrant that small outlay
