Track of the Week - 22 January 2023
I had a doctor's appointment this week for the first time in ages. (Nothing serious, just a kind of 'I'm not getting any younger' healthcheck.)
The system has changed since I was last there. Instead of names being displayed on a tv screen when it was your turn, the doctor now comes out and calls for you. This caused a bit of a mix-up.
A doctor come out and called a name that I thought was mine (he kind of trailed off midway through the surname) but someone else got up and followed him. 'That's a coincidence for two people to have such similar names' I thought.
Then a doctor came out and called my name (I thought). I followed him to the room and he said: 'So, tell me about this chest infection." I explained that wasn't why I was there and it looked like there was some name-based confusion happening.
Thankfully this set the wheels in motion to quickly straighten it out before anyone could have any tests or medication that they didn't need.
