Went to the clinic this morning - full Waited a bit, saw receptionist, explained the problem. She said she'd speak to Phillipe (lovely nurse) he was busy, so she gave my patient card to Julietta (cleaner come general helper) to grab Phillipe when he was free.
So I sat, got my book out and out comes Phillipe, ecplained to him the problem. He said wait - so I read two pages of my book and he waved me into the nurses room - out comes the lovely Dr Juan Hidalgo Berocal who saw me last week. I explain, Phillipe explains - my Portuguese is not up to medical standard They both have a look at my ears, chat, draw a diagram and I walk out with a note of stuff to get.
The waiting room is still full - the young lad who was fidgeting to see the nurse is still sat there and I walk out, not paying a centime. 20 minutes - start to finish
I go back next Monday about midday to see the rather lush Dr Juan
