The second time to write this for administrative reasons.


I went to the DMC having had an appointment and an hour and a half later the doctor walked in from a visit, leaving a queue of people ahead of me. I left and made a new appointment which took several attempts on the phone.

They seem to have lost my complete medical history and I'm not sure what can be done about it.

I have never seen the same doctor twice.

I went in to see a doctor and they somehow overlooked me and got left waiting for an hour so they sent me to see their emergency doctor I think they referred to him, and we had rather a stilted conversation and he had difficulty explaining whether I was talking about my 'front hole' or my 'back hole' which was surprisingly unscientific conversation for an alleged qualified doctor.

I think the D.M.C. over the years has deterioated.It focuses on getting quotas of certain tests done.for example I was pretty unwell once, and all that concerned the G.P was wether Id had my flu jab, and had I had a tetnus, . I thought what I had wrong with me at the time was more important. I was briefly looked at and was told to take aspirin; and not to go to the surgery if I thought I had flu, I felt like a pariah, I think it is run to much like a bussiness now, You should see the flash cars those doctors are driving there?

If it were run like a business they might, just, recognise that their patients are their customers / clients and therefore need careful, effective and sympathetic treatment. To me it sounds as if they are running it like an inefficient, semi stalinist, monopoly.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
