"Getting a Doctors appointment"

Can't get a Doctors appointment unless I phone at 8:30 am then it is fastest finger wins, once appointments are allocated there is no waiting list and you have to try again, you need to have a pee before you are on hold though or tie your legs together. This is very impracticable and can be embarrassing I don't want to tell every one what is wrong, some things are personal, if you work your employer wont be please at no notice for time off. I find it difficult to think the Doctors would come up with this nonsense maybe this is a government  decision? OH I have to go need a pee
