its a sad state of affairs when we cant get help. this happens to me sometimes just trying to see a GP!

there is an after hours number isnt there? When I have called my GP after hours it goes through to a govt call centre where there are nurses and a dr and you could ask them what to do. Could you try this? maybe call your GP and see what happens- it was a free service when I used it.

Otherwise for your peace of mind maybe its worth going to the hosp even though theres a wait. Maybe get a friend to go with you and share the wait.

All the best.
