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.

Yes, that is Jodie. She is very nice and efficient. Shame she is going.

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

      Council "weed" removal

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.

      No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
