in which embodiment is a terrible hobby

[kaberett]

Please tell me lovingly but firmly to book a damn' GP appointment?

I have had a cough for three and a half weeks now. Since about Friday there's a bigger component of misc. snuffles; after about two weeks it turned intermittently productive. Also as of about Friday evening I've started having slight crackling in my left lung on the tail end of exhale but not on inhale when taking deep breaths.

Also, as we know, I'm at relative-to-general-population high risk of Lung Stuff.

I am really really resistant to the idea of booking a GP appointment for this because of all my standard-issue Medical Trauma, but if you think this merits "... go to the doctor, Alex" then I would appreciate hearing it.

ETA poked at NHS 111 online; GP appointment now booked for 17:10 i.e. about five hours' time. Thank you. <3

COUGHS NORMALLY RESOLVE IN THREE WEEKS (and I was on holiday last week so didn't want to piss about with out-of-area patient stuff unless I obviously had pneumonia)

but yeah, this is very much the tedious thing of "ask other people to tell me to go so the trauma will Shut Up, it's not ME Making A Fuss Over Nothing, all these OTHER people wanted me to go, I went for THEM", and: appt booked, intend to go, etc.
