I have been feeling a little unwell, just under the weather so they say and I thought I would make an appointment with my doctor,

I was not expecting to get in today or even tomorrow but when they did answer the phone and said 3 weeks time, well I had to say something,
3 WEEKS, I COULD BE DEAD BY THEN

Is it a emergency, I was asked, well I dont know I am not a doctor,

Well could you tell me what you want to see the doctor for I was asked

I have a lump and I dont want to bother the doctor but what do you call a emergency I asked,

I shall get the nurse to call you back sometime tomorrow i was told,
I shall wait for tomorrow and see what the nurse has to say,

But this got me thinking, we ring the doctor to ask his advice on something we are not sure of, how do we know what is an emergency or not, and if you cant see it too,

3 weeks waiting to see your doctor is silly to me but dont what to be silly saying yes its a emergency too, we British with our stiff upper lip
