Had my medial appointment at Knightsbridge yesterday as well, and I have to say, I'm far from happy.
Got there with plenty of time to spare, had my chest x-ray done by a very nice lady, then waited again for my examination. Well, to call it an examination would be a bit of a joke really - I have never seen a doctor so eager to get someone out the door as quickly as possible. I must have been in there no longer than five minutes in total, which included the medical questions, physical examination, height-weight checking, and blood test. During the questionnaire I told her about an operation I underwent around six years ago in response to her question of "anything else she should know about". Honestly, I wish I hadn't bothered. She told me quite firmly that she wouldn't send any of my medical information along until I had my GP send her a full report on the operation, including diagnosis and aftercare. When I told her that my interview date was scheduled for next Tuesday (the 2nd), she couldn't have cared less if she tried, telling me I'd just have to reschedule it. To sum up just how apathetic she was to the whole process, she didn't even check my weight, she just asked me to read off the scales when I stood on them! I could have said anything and she wouldn't have known any different.
To add insult to injury, when she sent me out to the waiting room for the next part (vaccinations), no more than 60 seconds had passed when I saw her walk out of the office with her coat and bags, heading home! At this point I was fuming - I was paying £300 for this?
If Jade at reception hadn't been as reassuring as she was (and the lovely lady who does the vaccinations as well) then I would have formally complained, and to be honest I'm still quite tempted to. Absolutely hideous service from just one member of staff there.
I've now had to rush down to my GP first thing this morning and practically beg the receptionist to have him fax through the report either today or tomorrow in order to try and get it all ready for my interview. Thankfully I was told by someone slightly more helpful (and humane) than the examining doctor that even if the results don't get couriered to the embassy in time for Tuesday then the interview will still go ahead, and they'll just delay sending me the visa itself until they receive the results. I was advised to contact the embassy as well to let them know about this, which explains the other thread looking for an email address...
Sorry, bit of a ramble, but I'm still angry about the whole experience. Someone who couldn't care less about such an important appointment just so she could grab her coat and bags and shoot off as quickly as possible. Sigh...
