Me, calling the GP’s office I applied for us to join last month: “Hi, I applied in December and haven’t heard back, I was wondering…”

Receptionist: “If you haven’t heard back, it wasn’t successful. It’s luck of the draw…”

Me: “Umm, ok, do you keep applications in queue and…”

Receptionist: “No, we don’t”

Me: “So do we just have to keep reapplying?”

Receptionist: “Yes.”

On the other hand, I could have an Apple Watch delivered to my door tomorrow if I order it now.

Yay, capitalism.

@aral The big problem with this modus operandi is that it is too easy for them to simply send your application straight into the bin without even looking at it. At least they should be civilized and put you on a waitlist. Meanwhile, I understand that the SOP is to get rejected from 3 different GPs then ask hse.ie to assign a GP to you.

@omz13 As I understand it, the latter is only a thing for folks with medical cards; not if you’re private.
