Title: G. P. registration system
Post by: Dutchie on July 21, 2012, 14:29:09 PM: In a previous post, I've already mentioned something about the registration system that we have set up for people living in Ovacik/Hisaronu/Kaya/Tasyaka and Deliktas.

Nicola suggested a new topic for this, so here it is :D

My husband - Tolga Yemişen - is an English speaking GP and has his own surgery in Ovacik.
Patients can come for a consultation to the surgery but house visits are also possible.

In order to make the house visits easier, and especially in case of an emergency, we have set up a registration system. We have fridge magnets with our contact details and an unique registration number. This number will be linked to your address so in case of an emergency, it will only be a matter of mentioning the number instead of trying to explain where you live. It could save precious time, especially with tourists in rental properties since it is extra hard for them to describe where the property is.

If you are interested in registering, you can visit us in the surgery. It is on Ataturk cad 146/A, about 150 metres before the Hisaronu market, on the right hand side of the road (opposite Ramos Hotel).

Registering is free of charge and there are no strings attached.

Post by: Dutchie on July 25, 2012, 12:31:52 PM: At the moment there's no such system in Calis but friends of my husband are actually looking into the possibilty of opening a practice in Calis and if they do, they will implement the same system.

Thanks for your support Nichola. Already a lovely couple came and registered with us (they had read it here) but hopefully they will never need to use it.

Post by: Scunner on July 25, 2012, 12:47:56 PM: I think it is an excellent idea and wondered if it could be extended to cover renters - there are of course many accidents, illnesses and sunstrokes affecting people who may only be there for a week or two on holiday. I think it would be a real benefit to property owners renting out if they could put info in their rental information pack, and a magnet on the fridge. Of course it would need to be the owner who would register, not the holiday makers.

Post by: Dutchie on July 25, 2012, 13:22:13 PM: It already covers rental properties. It is good for the rentals since the tourists quite often have no idea where they are. Especially private villa's in Ovacik can cause problems because there are many "yellow buildings with a pool" (as somebody tried to describe where he was staying).

Owners can come and sign up and like I wrote before, it's free of charge and no strings attached.

From residents we take notes about medication they are using and/or illnesses they may have but for rental properties we only note that it concerns a rental.

Last week we even had a renter signing up for the property they were staying in. Their son had slipped around the wet pool and needed to be stitched up. When we explained the system, he signed up immediately and said that he would inform the owner (who happened to be his sister 8) )

Post by: loz on July 25, 2012, 14:57:31 PM: Good idea, how much is it per consultation/visit?
Title: Re: G. P. registration system
Post by: Dutchie on July 25, 2012, 16:42:13 PM: A normal consultation costs 50 TL.

Bloodtests, urinetests, ECG, injections, etc. are extra but prices are reasonable.
For example, an ECG costs 20 TL.

We also have a small observation room with two beds where people can be put on a drip.
Diarrhoea/dehydration - which are very common problems - can be solved in a couple of hours.
