Uk practising doctor.

[terry2366]

Does anyone know of a uk doctor that visits the island on holiday?? He must be still practising pm please if you can help.

[PapaBravo]

Do not know of any UK based doctors, but there are 2 excellent doctors at the Near East Hospital in Karakum. Doctor Turk and Doctor Silem both speak excellent English and are very knowledgeable and very caring.

I very much doubt a UK-based doctor will be licensed to practice here unless registered with the TRNC Health Ministry, Turkish speaker etc.

[Ragged Robin]

and if Nat. Health registered he would almost certainly be in breach of contract if he practised in another country and even more important the terms of his professional indemnity insurance.

Can only assume as a wind up , But I can assist with flight reservations (one way too:) )

[Hedge-fund]

Why does it have to be a 'he'?

[turtle]

I should imagine if a doctor did go to NC for a holiday i would imagine opening a surgery would be the last thing on his mind ?

[journey1]

Drs on holiday don't broadcast that they are Drs ! - they want to have a holiday!

Dr Silem trained in UK

Its strange on her how you ask a simple question which can be answered easily but the PC he or her come into play. What a world we live in. I know there are wonderful doctors here and know dr Turk and no I am not starting a surgery. Or creating Frankenstein.. It's just that a very good doctor here has made a prognosis that when being read by a doctor in the uk seems to suggest something different than the doctor here said. So I wanted to get a uk doctor to read it and see if the wording was wrongly interpreted. Ok no mysteries or skullduggery.

You could try going to turkey or the south

[terry2366]

Why is that where the uk non gender specific doctors go.? Sorry nosey I get fed up with people who read a post just hoping to find something in it they can complain about.

the BRS are working with a mainland hospital who will give second opinions,and help you make sure its the right thing michelle is is the health contact at there BRS

[justsayin]

Simple question yes. BUT lost in translation right from the start - understandably - The question did say MUST STILL BE PRACTICING
When you wanted someone with a good medical background and knowledge which doesn't disappear on retirement or simply when you stop practicing.

[terry2366]

No more replies please obviously no one can help. We have a view from a prominent doctor here that a nursing home me in the uk seem to interpret differently from that given by the TRNC doctor. They will accept a second opinion but it must be from a practising doctor. Hope that explains it so no more speculation we will find another way.
