Hi Pam


Just wanted to add my comment about my recent experience of Kings A&E. I recently had to visit A&E in the early hours of the morning and was very satisfied with my treatment and care at Kings. The care and attention I received was fantastic - it was quiet in A&E at the time so this may have helped, although I see this wasn't the case for Indya (hope you're feeling better now Indya).


I was vomiting violently throughout my initial triage but felt really well cared for and subsequently had a thorough MOT with the medics including scanning for a suspected triple A which turned into an ultrasound teaching opportunity for the junior doctor (with my full permission of course). They explained everything to me as they carried out their tests, kept me fully informed and I felt very safe in their care.

That's great ontherun. Once you're admitted to the wards though, it's sometimes pot luck on the care you receive.


If you don't have family/friends I dread to think how many patients get by.


As posted, my Mum was due an op a couple of years ago in day surgery and it was only because we noticed a discrepancy on her operation for the next day that she could have ended up with the wrong breast removed. I can't imagine what effect this would have had on my Mum on waking up! She had been the strongest person there for her extended family before this.

They do ,don't they ? I've had several bad and some very bad experiences , can't actually think of any good ones .


The majority of my really bad experiences have been where the patient was elderly .The bad ones have involved me .


It seems to come down to the individuals who see you in the hospital . Can't be right surely ?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
