Hi Gary,


I have PM'd you but can you remember the name of the nurse or doctor? 2 new doctors started recently at Melbourne Grove, one male and one female. When did you leave?

I started a thread earlier about phone consultations at Melbourne Grove but it was moved to ED businesses. Not sure why as all other doctor threads are in this section. Anyway, I said that I had a phone consultation with a Nurse Practitioner I hadn't met before. She told me I was only 'allowed' 5 minutes for this service. I found her statement rather peculiar and wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I had a number of things to discuss with her and was nonplussed by her attitude.

Thanks Admin but I didn't receive the explanation and checked the other thread before you removed it.

IF it was Melbourne Grove around the corner from East Dulwich Station, then yes. Who did you see there?

Great - nice to see they are managing to ensure there is no continuity of care.


I should have left this disastrous place already but - judging by local comment - the alternatives mean queueing up at 07.30 to get an appointment or hanging off the phone for hours at a time.


Does anyone have any information on the GP surgery at Dulwich Hospital (E.D.Primary Care Centre)? Last time I went past it looked open and uncrowded - is there a reason? Does it have a rep (good or bad)? The doc there (Dr Sarma) has apparently been there since 2006 and was at Maxted rd before then. Anyone any experience?

Maxxi,


I know what you mean about continuity of care. There isn't any there and hasn't been for ages. I tried to get an appt. with Dr. Arif but was told he was on holiday and even when there is only around one day a week. He is quite a good GP from what I have heard.


One of the new female doctors is part time. I heard the nicest nurse practioner is leaving - the one from North America.

I also had a difficult and frustrating time with MG med centre.

I ended up writing a letter of complaint and Dr Bhatia was responsive, apologetic and concerned and sorted everything out very quickly, looking into every detail of the complaint. If she had not been there when I needed her I would be in a very different situation to where I am now.

I have since moved out of the catchment but it is a real shame for that practice that she is leaving.

I wish her well.

Thanks for your comments. Sadly, she left quite a few months ago.

Just do a search before you start a thread in case there is already one in existence.

      Chatgpt is a joy (and scary)  No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry) (Verse 1) No water… on Barry Road No water… on Barry Road Said, I remember, when we used to flow In the tap by the old front gate Oba served us clear, sweet water Then it vanished like fate And then the plumber would come in the evening Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight" But every time we checked the faucet It was still a dusty fight (Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… yeah On Barry Road (Verse 2) I see the buckets lined up outside Hope in every pail we hold The sun be blazing, the kids be crying And the kettle’s running cold Good friends we had, and good friends we lost To the drought along the way In this bright future, we can't forget the past But we sure need water today (Chorus) No water… no flowin’ tide On Barry Road… we stand and sigh No water… but we still survive On Barry Road… we still try (Bridge) Oh, dry days will pass, I know Pipe dreams gotta start to flow But until then we wait and pray For rain or trucks to come our way (Final Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… no pride But still we rise… (It refused to sing it for me)

      Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
