Problems problems

All the forthcoming surgeries are fully booked and am trying to fit in extra ones but there were a number of urgent cases so Sally decided that I could see them all this afternoon. They were all real and urgent problems though so the people had to be seen but I had to wonder what has prompted the sudden increase in demand over the last couple of weeks. There are an extraordinary number of housing problems but lots of other problems as well. Strangely, thereis always a peak in February but I have never noticed anything quite this bad before.
