Dear All - last Thursday we had our medicals and xrays etc for ITA. We live in Glasgow - a handy 5 minute walk to the above named private clinic - one of the panel doctors highlighted by NZIS. My partner and I would suggest that unless you have absolutely no alternative - DON'T GO THERE!!!!!!!
What a horrid place....it's dirty....and smelly....and I think the doctor herself was of dubious cleanliness....and a bit stinky....sincere apologies if anyone out there knows the doctor....maybe it was an 'off' day ...no pun intended!!! Urine sample into a paper cup and left on top of the cistern in the public toilet.....euk!
Blood taken in haphazard manner - i will have a bruise for months! My partner had blood dripping from his arm when he came back into the waiting room, and had to go and be recheked.
Also - no real attention paid to the questions.....my partner has asthma and she actually marked - no asthma - on his form until he corrected her - she basically went through the form 100 miles an hour and then took ?200 from each of us.....(not incl. xrays by the way!).
Anyway - we are going to write and complain about it - we feel very strngly that hospitals and clinics should be super sterile and at the very least doctors fingernails should be clean!!
Also - I was quite looking forward to a full medical - MOT, but it was nothing like as thorough as I would have hoped......
sorry for the rant!
