We were up early this morning at 5:45am to be first in the queue at 7:25am to see our GP. She doesn't take appointments and it's first-come, first-served when the GP clinic opens at 8am on Saturdays. Plus she is very popular, so when the doors open at 8am, there is a mad, unseemly scramble up the stairs to get to the reception desk.
But it makes you get the most out of every visit. Repeat prescriptions - check; flu vaccine - check; forms for blood tests - check; weight measured - check; blood pressure checked - check.
Our earlier than usual start meant we were in the city to borrow books at the University of Adelaide before 10am, and caught the march of Afghanistan veterans as it progressed through the university.
