Introducing oneself to health providers
May. 11th, 2006 11:14 amAre dentists uniquely awful at answering phone calls?
I asked NHS Direct for a list of nearby dentists, started ringing round at lunchtime, and they all either failed to answer, or directed me to an answering machine saying 'ring back between 9am and 5pm'.
The nearby doctor will register me without trouble and give me an appointment tomorrow to decide whether what I've had for a week is ear-ache or tooth-ache; with luck they'll also fix it. It's not been particularly painful, but it got noticeable at night.
