Unhelpful and rigid, arrogant doctors
Absolutely through with this hospital group. I had to raise a formal complaint at the Évora hospital after their arrogant physiotherapy doctor refused to treat me any more on the lame excuse that I had had to cancel an appointment due to having fibromyalgia and being too ill to travel on the day. Then this morning I have tried and failed to make an appointment with an eye doctor at Évora for suspected Herpes Zoster because the guy on the triage insisted in going through his completely irrelevant 'protocol' on a call costing ME money rather than just looking to see if Évora had any appointments available. Instead he told me to go to emergency at the SNS?! What am I paying €2k a year for a private policy for? He refused to even look if there was an appointment available, instead accusing me of having a 'bad attitude' because I was asking him to do it at all and come off his 'protocol'! I had to hang up the call because he was being so unhelpful and rigid, more interested in sticking to his script than finding me a doctor. Completely useless. Over the
last 5 years I have sought help for back and chest pain and seen many of their doctors and they are always either arrogant, flippant or just unhelpful. Definitely don't recommend the Misericordia or this group in general.
