I applied on-line today to Thorndon Medical Centre for acceptance as a patient.
I tell you, patience is needed when filling out the forms. As a quasi-Luddite I find it difficult when, having started entering details on an on-line portal, there is a requirement for information like: vaccination history, health history, proof of ID, proof of address etc. that necessitates jumping to other websites. Sure, I know that tech-savvy people can jump from tab to tab dementedly like a fire walker or a Catholic trying to validate crazy catechism constructs but I invariably manage to close down the portal I was entering data into and have to go back and start again. Sheesh!
I think that I managed it properly and certainly hope so as with my medical conditions I'm dependant on my drug prescriptions. As part of enrolling with a new medical practice, officially leaving a current provider is necessary.
Now I've had bad experiences in the past in changing banks, telecommunication providers and electricity companies where some over-enthusiastic employee 'pulls the plug' too early. I certainly don't want a plug pulled early when my health is concerned.
I was going to then start the process for The Old Girl but after the lengthy struggle that I had entering my data I thought it best that I left it to her to do it herself.

Yes, I fully understand.
I agree too. Except for the silly bigoted dig at the one and true Catholic Church. Probably easier to fill out forms on a cell phone than a computer which easily jump out of the operating platform (Windows, Chrome).
