£10 fine for missing a doctors appointment?

Post by Little John »

A ten pound fine?! It's too good for them! Bring back the birch! Hang them!

And how would you collect it anyway?

My friend was ten minutes late for her appointment because she had forgotten the precise time. The doctor refused to see her. Her scan for suspected cancer is now going to be eight weeks after her initial discovery of a questionable lump. Punishment enough, I’d say.

Will patients get a refund for being kept waiting for an appointment by the doctor as a quid pro quo btw? I am never seen on time at the same practice as my friend.
