Fucking NHS

I've just spent almost three hours with my Dad at the emergency doctors. My poor dad has had a serious increase in pain over the weekened and after I nagged at him, he rang NHS Direct for some advice. They sent him to the emergency doctors where after being seen over two hours later than his appointment time he was told to increase the paracetamol and ibuprofen he's already taking and if it gets worse to go to A&E...surely this advice could have been given over the phone?

At least he has his scan booked in for thursday, I'm just hoping he doesn't need to go to a&e in the mean time...
