Never Again! I am…read moregoing to write about the worst experience I have even had at the hands of a Doctor in a Hospital. The Whittington Hospital to be precise. His name is Dr. Joquau Kravvas from Thesalonica Greece, and he possesses the worst kind of Greek Male Mysogony that exists. I was greeted with "Why are you wearing two jumpers"? It is very cold possible the coldest day of the year I replied. He explained nothing about the treatment I had gathered from the nurse that he was about to remove some red skin that could possible develop into a cancerous growth, in the event it did not. Dr. Brarrack joked with the nurse that he would 'Have To Remove Half Of My Face' due to what he could see. I certainly hoped not. He drilled ferociously for half an hour. It was relentless. I hope I would;d not be scarred for life. The nurse said the scar would bleed for a week or so. It went on to bleed for over six weeks, I had to visit the A&E of UCHL during the Xmas break as it bled soo much throughout the dressing and I woke up to blood on my pillow for six weeks. This was embarrassing as I was staying with relatives for some of the holiday, Three months late the scar is still there. I wrote an honest review of my treatment and mentioned his name. He had it removed. But I doubt that Yelp will allow vanity struck doctors like him to remove an honest review. I like the nurses in the Dermatology dept. and I like the Italian coffee and soup stand that is parked in front of the Whittington, but I never want to set eyes on Joqau Barrack as long as I live. And I would not wish him to cut a biopsy into anyone\s cheek. Not even in Harley Street which he arrogantly brags about. He drilled by cheek with the ferocity of a farmer drilling a carcass,

Over the last month I have spent a fair bit of time in and out of various hospitals in London. I…read moream thinking of doing a series. So let's start with the one closest to home. Whilst this isn't the first hospital I have ever been in, in London, it was the first to offer me overnight hospitality and they keep asking me to come back for more. I get the feeling the staff like having me around, or my health issue is more serious than it feels. The staff here are great. Really friendly and welcoming. When I checked in to A&E I was glad to have a friend with me to kill the time but I was seen by triage within 20 minutes and then only had to wait a few hours (it wasn't obviously serious) before being seen by a doctor. The A&E doctor was a nice guy, though I didn't particularly approve of the way he stuck needles into me, it hurt quite a lot (it was in the hand) and since I hate needles anyway (even writing this is making me feel faint) I was throwing up quite a lot. The anti-sickness drugs took effect swiftly and when the blood test results came back I was given a room in major injuries within 5 minutes and a private room on a ward within a couple of hours. Everyone from the porters to the nurses and phlebotomists were amazing, always willing to chat and make you feel included in their lives. My friends tell me the ward doctor was very attractive. I was a little busy being ill to really judge but I can vouch for my friends good tastes. I was impressed with the range of tests they gave me and very grateful that with the NHS I didn't have to pay for any of this. The food on the ward was, average at best however the canteen area was filled with choices and all of which looked delicious. I can recommend this hospital, especially because there is a therapy dog who comes to visit every day and there are lots of local groups who visit the elderly and palliative care patients to ensure that everyone has a visitor during the visiting hours. Whilst there wasn't a tv or a phone in my room the time was passed pleasantly. Ambulatory care is also a very welcoming place to visit as well as just a wonderful phrase to repeat. The staff take good care of you here. If you get truly bored you can always count the pictures of cats scattered around the hospital.

Mother Earth is a bit overpriced but has a good selection of Tofu and health products…read more I say it is overpriced because alternative milk need not be 1.79. That being said, this shop does a nice Tofu selection with all the top brands, sweetened nuts, and a large beauty selection. There is no cafe or hot and cold bar. The staff asked me if I needed help twice which was good. I like this little store, mainly for location and lay out, as it is quite easy to maneuver around in terms of a small shop.

I love the fact that I have this shop so near to me, it's so handy in many ways…read more They sell a selection of organic/healthy condiments, pasta's, sauces, fresh lunches, veg, fruit etc. Similiar to Holland & Barrett. They also have a section with vitamins, cosmetics, toiletries, aromatherapy oils and other alternative health medicines. There are rooms attached where you can book yourself in for massages & cranial sacral healing amongst other holistic healing techniques. Staff are really helpful and friendly and know their products well. They always seem to have bargain/sales baskets where you can get good products at a discount prices. Recommend if you are into alternative healthy living.

I still think this is a good doctors surgery BUT, oh my goodness it is hard to get through to them…read moreon the phone! I'd been trying to make a non-emergency appointment for a few weeks, but I could never get through...and when it's not an emergency I always think I'll try again later... and put it off. So, I waited until I felt really terrible, and then tried to get an emergency appointment (you have to call between 8:30- 9:00am to book a same-day appointment.) They left the answer phone on until 8:50, saying the surgery was closed, please call back after 8:30. *sigh* Then I called and called and called (42 times), but received the engaged tone each time. Finally, I managed to get the phone to ring...but then after 25 rings, no one picked up, so my phone disconnected the call. Urgh. After that, I gave up and walked over to the surgery instead...but was told they'd just given away the last emergency appointment. In the end, I started to cry (I'm not good at handling stress when I'm feeling poorly...and knowing I'd have to wait another day in pain just to go through the same problem the following morning stressed me out...) so the reception staff persuaded a doctor to see me after all. So basically, this GP can be excellent if you get to see a doctor... but it's not easy to actually get an appointment. If nothing else works, crying in the reception seems to help.
