First define your battleground

[desperance]

It seems to have been a rough night for all of us. I have two slumpy cats here: one slumped across my knees, which puts him just this side of the keyboard, while the other slumps up against the further side of that same keyboard. They are eyeing each other. If they ever locate the energy to squabble, I fear for my fiction.

For myself: still can't breathe. Breathlessness is overrated. I'm going to go batter at the doctors again. My wheezing. Let me show you it.

Asthma is no fun - demand the inhaler or a written reason why he is refusing to prescribe it.
If the doctor won't help (and as I understand it in the UK you can't easily change your GP), could you go to the nearest A&E in hospital?

That's the fallback position, which I'm hoping to avoid; it's the way they greet you as you walk in with the news that there's currently a four-hour wait to be seen...

(I do actually have an alternative fallback, which is a whole sheaf of doctor friends, any one of whom could and would write me a scrip; I just hate to ask. They're my friends, not my dealers...)

I hope you don't have to do the alternative fallback, but if you do, just think of it as an homage to 'House'. Greg wouldn't have any problems with asking.

Hee. That is so true. Gregory House as role-model. Yay...
