Hi all

Suffering from very bad arm/shoulder pain. Was referred to a physio and it's been going well but suddenly got much worse last night.

Rang my gp, they're closed. They mentioned DUB-DOC. Anyone hear of this/ use this service? Do they accept medical cards?

Thanks in advance

Not sure whether they accept medical cards or not but there's a phone number in that link. Try calling them

If your GP is part of the service they have to accept your medical card.

GP's recorded message recommended I call two numbers, one of which was on that HSE link. Neither number answered. Will keep trying!

Thanks!
