00:00 How have you been finding it lately to get a doctor's appointment if you've tried?
00:03 I haven't tried so I couldn't tell you but I know that people are struggling with that.
00:08 Yeah, yeah definitely.
00:10 Do you know of anyone, I don't know who's sort of like, you know, you have to call and like get
00:15 one on the same day, anyone who's had like difficulties like that? Have you heard about?
00:18 Yeah I have heard about that, just yeah, just people struggling and then having to go
00:23 or trying to get through 111 and ending up going through A&E or the urgent care centre
00:28 and that kind of thing when they probably could have just seen the GP if there were
00:32 more GPs available and things like that.
00:34 Yeah it's tricky at the minute isn't it?
00:35 Yeah.
00:36 Found it lately, sort of getting doctor's appointments, any sort of medical stuff,
00:39 have you been finding it more difficult, sort of having to wait longer,
00:42 any sort of experiences with that lately?
00:44 I mean I haven't had to get one in a little while but I'm with the uni health centre and
00:48 they are normally quite good if you ring them up on the day they try and find you in Sweden
00:52 because it's possible so yeah, I've come to it.
00:55 Are you happy to sort of be with them and maybe not having to fight with everyone to
01:00 get appointments?
01:01 Yeah like they are quite good, I'm a bit worried for when I graduate and then I'm
01:05 not with them anymore, how I'm going to sort that out but yeah for the time being yeah.
01:10 Great yeah, you get there, you get there when you get there.
01:12 Yeah.
01:12 And do you want me to ask you, do you need it as well?
01:14 Yeah yeah uni as well but I literally haven't used it, I haven't picked up the phone.
01:19 Oh that's nice.
01:21 Yeah no I haven't really had to use it.
01:23 Okay.
