I got an appointment the following week with an NHS specialist. In my opinion that was suspiciously fast, especially because people always complain about how long it always takes the NHS to sort things out. So is a week fast for this sort of thing? Does that mean that I'm considered an urgent case? Because I was just wondering if maybe the system is slightly different for eating disorders...
