Called 111 on saturday at 18:00, had a callback within the hour and got an appointment for 22:30 same day, Dr asked if I could get antibiotics in the morning and when I said it'd be difficult he disappeared for 10 minutes and came back with some

I'd been suffering from feeling absolutely miserable and coughing up all the colours of the rainbow for about a week, I'm very happy he was able to give me a weeks worth of antibiotics on the day because I would have really struggled to go out and get them on sunday (can't drive). I was expecting it to be the typical british thing of an underestimation of my situation and stoically bearing it until I could get treatment.
