Many doctors (not all) will be slow at returning a patient's call for help on the phone. They don't get paid for this. I phoned my doctor the other afternoon and they said "Oh yes,he will phone you back". He never did phone back at all. So I phoned the on call doctor and he called back in 10 minutes. A lot of pain I was in from kidney infection.It is very frustrating when a doctor does not call back. Even more so where I live because the buses have been on strike for 4 months and I could not get to a doctor or hospital if I wanted to. Then also the nurses are on a work slow down. What a crazy world.
