Extremely slow response

If you know it's extremely busy on a Monday, why don't you have more consultants on a Monday than say on a Wednesday?

Your WhatsApp line is full.

Listening for 10 minutes to your advertising on the helpline.

The Dr's office contacted you on 6 May.

I contacted you.

Why does this take this long to get a response?
