Had my medical last Weds at the Bentinck Mansion surgery.
Was no big deal. I had gone to my GP two weeks prior and ensured I got my MMR (I was one of the generation they didn't do DOB1976) and the Tetanus,Polio,Dip injection. Didn't cost me anything.
Arrived, met the receptionist who some folks claim wasn't very friendly, I found her perfectly fine. (I just smiled and was polite, folks find it difficult to be arsey if you're being charming).
Filled in the 2nd form they need, easy to do.
Jolly chap showed up, was jolly, took me for a chest x-ray and then I waited for about 30 mins before the Doctor came and collected me.
I had to smile as it was the 'highly attractive but surly' female doctor, from the Indian sub continent from her accent, I had read about in this thread.
She does come across as a bit abrupt, however again I remained calm and polite and smiled, she mellowed a fair bit and we were enjoying a light hearted conversation by the end of the exam. I just don't think she does small talk or is interested in being humorous, I know I made a couple of amusing comments and she just didn't seem to quite get them. She commented on my tattoo (which I'd had done 16 years ago and at a reputable artist) and then she commented on my weight at which point I mentioned that I am exercising regularly and in the process of losing weight. She mentioned my blood pressure and I apologised for drinking too much coffee and for being nervous about the exam. She took my blood, professionally and without pain of any sort.
About the blood pressure, she told me to lay off the coffee, I nodded and accepted the advice. Thanked her and shook her hand.
I had a cough and she took a look at my gear, she seemed content it was all there.
Job done.
I went to the waiting room again, waited about 5 mins, then was called to reception and paid my £200 (now that hurt...)and went on my merry way.
My advice if you get this doctor is to remember:
She isn't your GP, you are not developing a long term professional relationship with her and so she has no personal investment to make with the people she meets.
Don't worry about that, just be friendly, relaxed and professional back, don't bother with too much small talk or trying to crack jokes to lighten the mood, just let her do her job and get on with it.
