Here’s the real strategy. Never, and I mean ever, walk in without a plan. The surgery has “emergency slots” that open at 8:00 AM and then again at 2:00 PM for afternoon issues. These are like golden tickets for the medical Willy Wonka factory.
Also, the phone lines reopen at 2:00 PM sharp. If you call at 1:59 PM, the universe will punish you by making you listen to a loop of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on a kazoo. I’ve timed it.

Important note: The surgery is not open during lunch? Ha! Think again. They are open through lunch from Monday to Friday. That’s right—you can get a prescription refill while munching a sad sandwich. It’s the little victories.
