An appointment you can actually arrive early to

Now, like most people I go to the doctor's every six months or so. Most people reading this will probably have gone through the same NHS routine. You turn up on time to your appointment, you sit down next to an elderly woman and read some random niche-targeted magazine (i.e. Fishing Magazine) to pass the time.

But then you look up at the clock and it's already 30 minutes past your appointment. And you think WHAT! There's nobody here, all the doctor's are in, what is going on? I got thinking, what are the doctor's doing between appointments? Are they deliberately taking their time by trying to solve the meaning of life?

I don't know.

But a few weeks ago I had an appointment and turned up early as usual, quickly signed in at reception and before I even sat down my name was called out. I was genuinely surprised and my appointment was so quick that I left the doctor's before the original time of my appointment. Brilliant!

Conservatives who read the Daily Mail are obsessed with the idea that the NHS is a waste of taxpayer's money. I was initially unsure of whether the NHS is worthwhile. After my last appointment, it definitely well is.
