I *told* you I was ill

I have bronchitis, apparently. But I also now have nice antibiotics to get rid of it. Took about 3 minutes once I actually got into the GP's room.

GP, wielding stethoscope: "Breathe out for me, please"
Me: [pathetic attempt at out-breath]
GP: "No, properly, a full breath" [demonstrates]
Me: [attempts to breathe in fully in order to breathe out fully, dissolves into coughing fit]
GP: "Ah. Bronchitis." [puts stethoscope away, writes prescription]

Near fuckup with appointment after I failed, when initially booking appt this morning, to explain that I wasn't registered. Returned at appt time to confusion from receptionists. For a brief moment I thought they weren't going to let me be seen at all, but after much apologising, looking confused, etc from me (the fact that I was genuinely close to collapsing in tears all over the place at the thought that I wasn't going to be able to get any nice antibiotics may have helped), it was all sorted out. Hurrah. Have also got halfway through their tortuous registration process, which is a bonus.

Anyway. [cough]
