After several appointments to get a tooth with a large abcess out, the local hospital told me to get more antibiotics from my own dentist and report back in a week. I didn't get past the dental receptionist who told me "no way". A week later, the hospital spent ages carefully numbing me up then began the extraction, upon which I hit the roof from pain. I got a telling off for not getting the extra antibiotics and when I said the dentist's receptionist said "no" they told me I should have gone to my GP.
You'd have to know my GP (nicknamed Dr Naples - as in "nae pills") to know where that would have got me.
Scottish political mess. Is Devolution working?
