them doors sure are thin on the doctors rooms as well

even if you fail to hear the conversation while it is happening the doctor speaks nice and loud into his dictophone when hes making his notes

I don't visit the doctor very often.......and I am at Peel House. I was quite ill at the end of last year with a severe Kidney infection.....I have to say that I couldn't hear what was going on in the consulting room.

The current situation with appointments was instigated politically......and Doctors are penalised if they do not meet the target set for them by THIS government. Targets are particularly unhelpful to folk like you and me.......we are not tins of beans or a marketable commodity.
If you do not like the system then choose carefully where you put that X on Thursday.

Lettie is right about the training that Nurses receive........and about the hard working Doctors at P.H.

The Doctors and practise Nurses in Myrtle House are Brilliant.
We can't find fault with any aspect of care given.

Or could it be that you're sat there with your ear more or less glued to the door. lol

Maybe I can't hear what is being said in the Doctors Room because my teeth are chattering so much.......I am always a nervous wreck when I go. In fact I have to be almost dying before I make an appointment.

If you're down the bottom end in that little square bit you can't often hear, but on the corridor or up near the door I have often heard but it's a little more confidential than in the open area of the nurses room.

25 minutes before I got through this morning. I am now sat in a queue whilst that annoying woman tells me that all lines are busy. Did I die and go to hell this morning?
