I'm on the waiting list for minor day surgery (stomach hernia repair) at our lovely local hospital - Kings. Someone from there just phoned me and asked if I would like to have my op on 30 Nov under the same consultant but 'off-site'. I asked what 'off-site' meant and the lady said Weymouth Hospital. I declined and checked the web, Weymouth Hosp is 139 miles from me.


What on earth is going on?

Ah ha - just received a kindly PM telling me they probably mean the Weymouth Hospital in Weymouth Street W1 (private hosp). The caller from Kindgs did not make that clear at all but just said Weymouth Hospital ...


I found the confusion quite funny initially but now I am probably back at the bottom of the waiting list after declining.

The Weymouth Hospital is managed by the BMI group of private hospitals. It's a small 8 bed unit just off Harley St. King's is undoubtedly trying to reduce its waiting list and at least one of its General Surgeons must have a private practice at the Weymouth.

      Fireworks

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
