You mean 15 minutes wait would kill a Brit?

I've waited that long in a queue at Tesco!

15 minutes. Right. That why when I was in the UK last week that was
another of those endless discussions on the BBC on all the waiting
lines in the NHS. Probably because guys like this don't just look up
their questions on the internet and go clog the lines.

You need to change your surgery. I've had three different surgery
doctors since moving back from the US to the UK in both London and
Manchester, and seeing them was easy- same day or next day, and I rarely
waited more than a few minutes after my appointment time.

We've never had a problem seeing a doctor in UK.

Private or NHS?

It would take a couple of days at most to see a doctor for such a thing.
Most times I've seen my doctor, I've been able to get a last minute same
day appointment, providing I could take the time to go. If you haven't
lived in the UK and had an NHS doctor, you should really sit on your
hands. There are waiting lists, of course, but seeing your doctor is
usually quick.

Well, whatever time it takes, why would anyone take up a doctor's time
with a question like this when you can simply look it up? Unless you
have some special medical situation that would make that wise. All
you're doing is taking up their time needlessly unless you were also
going for another reason. Neither of these seem to be the case with
this guy.

been there recently or does anyone know what is required

Well, we went there a few weeks ago, and didn't get any inoculations.
There are nasties around you can catch, but it's unlikely in the main
tourist regions. The worst you are likely to get is an upset belly!

Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are the main ones to
consider.

many thanks for your sensible and polite response, unlike some

So you are going to follow his nonmedical advice because you find him
polite and sensible? Instead of a medical database?

If you're UK resident than free advice is available from your doctor.

So, then, all UK doctors are all familiar with the innoculation
requirements for tourists to any country in the world?



No, but there is an NHS database which they can consult.

once EDS get the software to work.

Anybody look it up in the WHO book or on the WHO website.

Or the CDC site in the US. Diseases don't normally discriminate
between nationalities.

I was addressing your point about the waitlist.

If you spell them right - "Morocco", "inoculation" - you have a better
chance of getting good answers back from a google search.

Nice snobbery.

Of course not.

For routine destinations like Morocco they would probably know without
needing to look it up - virtually every doctor in the UK would have a
patient visiting there at some point.

What a beautiful waste of their time.



They would look them up on the internet or call an
innoculation center which has them, either or which this guy could
do.

More likely they would look up the latest issue of the relevant leaflet
in a looseleaf binder on their desk.

Whatever. All of this is easily available on the internet without
wasting a doctor's time.



Meanwhile, he would die sitting on the waitlist to see a doctor
in the UK.

Do you realize how much of an idiot you're making of yourself to
people who actually live here and know how the NHS works?

Do you realize what an idiot you are for not realizing I was joking
you humorless twit?
