Here in the UK at the moment, it would be nice to get an appointment!!

Some doctors think they're God, some patients believe they are. Just before pandemic my doctor told me he considered I was diabetic. Wanted another blood test to confirm. All arranged then got text cancelling. Two weeks later, another text to remind me of follow up appointment. Pointed out it would be waste of time (on both sides) as there was nothing to discuss.

Heard nothing since they acknowledged my message. Not even a phone call to find out how I am.

Attitude towards older patients is awful. I'm 65. Have attended appointments with 85 year old mother. After not monitoring her properly before pandemic, they're also now ignoring her too (different doctors to mine).
