Who are you phoning? The GP who will consult his records? I spent a 
happy (sic) hour in an NHS walk-in centre in the summer, waiting to be 
seen because they were completely failing to assist an elderly couple 
whose wife had left her essential daily medicines at home before going 
away on holiday. She couldn't say what the medicines were (other than 
"white pills"), and they couldn't contact anyone who could help. But it 
wasn't my intention to argue by counter-example, sorry.
