"Come" gave away the start a bit too easily. Although my first thought was "comrade" but it obvs didn't fit. Honestly not even sure why "compadre" jumped into my head at that point either. Maybe I have been dreaming of Mexicans or something.

I try to make a habbit of checking around 9am, but most days I usually forget and turn up a bit late. I also usually am not so good at them but I have had a decent run recently... either I am getting better or they are getting easier. I think the latter! :-D

Don't surgeons prefer "Mr" rather than "Dr" to avoid them being confused with people who know what they are doing the plebian pill pushers? :laugh:

I was going with the word Arrive or comeback but I did not want it to be too complicate to repeat myself Associate Halfhearted comeback around Secretary and Surgeon.

While in Germany, Most of the time when I went to GP, the only advice he gave was take a week rest, drink soup and tea. If nothing improves come back later.

And he was right. The overwhelming majority of minor illnesses will go away with little or no treatment other than rest and lots of fluids. A good GP is one who knows the difference between a minor illness and one that requires medical intervention.

True, but it's still a bit of a cop-out. Not everyone goes to the doctor first day of symptoms. I had a phlegmy cough and earaches for about 4 weeks, decided to go doctors and still got told "come back in a couple of weeks". So I went back, different doctor, and was given antibiotics for ear and chest infection. Cleared up in 2 weeks. I feel the first doctor could have easily diagnosed me correctly if he had just taken a couple of minutes to properly consider the symptoms. I was coughing up some pretty nasty stuff by the time I went to see him! Although I get that they are overloaded with patients and they just want to play the numbers game. Anyway, the whole conversation made me think of this[^].
