Doctors in Portlaoise - wth???

    I came off my bike hard on the icy roads this morning, and slammed my head into the curb. For about two minutes, I couldn't move or speak, and my entire body felt like it had 'pins and needles'. Its two hours later and my head still feels like its vibrating and every muscle in my body is tensed and sore.

    I have been trying to find a doctor, but I am new to the town, every single one I have tried has said they are not taking new patients. I have gone through every one on GoldenPages.ie. What the hell is going on here? Why are there no doctors available?

    At this stage, my only option is the A+E, but since I am able to get up and walk around fine, and I am able to think straight I don't want to waste their time :(:(

    go to A&E, you won't be wasting their time, and the staff there are very helpful.

    get yourself checked out properly

    best of luck

    i know this is too late but...
    you could try the medoc on the dublin road if looking for an out-of-hours service...

    also i think a+e charge 110 euro if presented without a doctors referral...
