I'm in there..

[Scrumpy]

Rang the doctors surgery this morning at 10 am.. 
I was number 8 in the queue.. 15 mins later they answered.. 
Took all my details and said they would consult doctor and give me a call later.. 
Thirty mins later they phoned me.. 
'The doctor will see you this afternoon'..
I explained that I was unable to be there this afternoon..
' Can you do tomorrow at 10:45'?
What a result..

Mr Sowerberry? 😬

I don't believe that's a real doctors name. Needs a few Zs Ws and Ks in it to be real.

He is the undertaker in Oliver Twist.😉

I didn't even know there was an undertaker in Oliver Twist.

Excellent.
Not to be outdone, I saw a real live doctor on 21 June this year.  He was at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.  As far as I know, he wasn't actually a consultant, but he was very good.

I saw a GP two weeks ago, and the practice nurse twice last week.  Getting my money's worth! 😊

Wasn't Oliver apprenticed to Sowerberry?

Thank you Ashy..
I don't think it is anything serious.. 
I have had knee pain for a few weeks now.. sore to touch.. 
I am not one for rushing to the doctors..
I have been lucky that I am reasonably fit.. Didn't even know my doctors name.. Discovered it was Sarah..

The husband of one of our other Directors had a face-to-face with a GP at his surgery recently.

He'd never seen her before & her surname is Sultana so I asked him if she was now his currant GP.

Indeed he was.  When I was a young teacher, I played the part in the school's production of Oliver.  I decided to play him as a very camp fella, based on the opening line "Well, as a matter of fact I was looking for a boy" 😬😉

[klondike]

That would go down well these days. Maybe.
