Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #346 #Overloaded NHS

I’m very keen on the great outdoors

rambling over hill and moors

but yesterday set a precedent

as I had a minor accident

my first aid skills are not too good

so I decided that I should

let a professional have a look

rather than checking my St. John’s book

whilst negotiating stony ground

my knee gave way and I fell down

as it needed more than ointment

I rang up for an appointment

but as is the norm nowadays

I couldn’t be seen for fourteen days
