Seen quickly
Last week I was seen really quickly when I experienced sudden illness whilst out at the shops. If they hadn't been able to see me, the shop was going to get an ambulance. I would have ended up at A&E, waiting much longer to see someone, and ended up with the same medication as I got from the surgery. I am grateful that they got me in. It is also local so my family were able to get to me easily and quickly as I needed driving home afterwards.
