Does the NHS ignore everyone, or just me?

Got referred for an X-ray by the GP yesterday, was told the hospital would call yesterday or today... they did not.
I tried to call before 5 but they were busy and there was no way to leave a message or queue... so I called just after 5 and they were closed, of course.
Left them a message. Hope it made sense. Hope they damn well call me back tomorrow.

Meanwhile I'm being a total hypochondriac over here. I know it's irrational and I need to quit worrying, but it's hard. The human mind is geared to seek answers, and we find an extended period of simply not knowing tricky to accept. This is why we have religion, and this is why I have hypochondria. Blarg.

Edit: So I got a call back, awesome sauce. Got an appointment for Thursday. Will try to relax for now.
