What happens at registration for QMH/Tsan Yuk?

Please note that legally your employer is compelled to give you paid time off for all anti-natal appointments. If they complain about this, point out that your employee medical insurance doesn't cover maternity (I assume!) so this is your only alternative. If they're still pooey,suggest they pay for private care! I was actually really annoyed that my high risk OB only held her clinic on Fridays - my day off!!!!
 
TOP TIP!

When I was having my appointments at Tsan Yuk it drove me mad that my 1030 appointment was also given to another 50 women.... so sometimes I didn't get to see the doctor until 1230 or later!

The way to get round it is... okay get the appointment slip for whatever time they give you but turn up at Tsan Yuk at 0900 regardless what time your appointment is. Go up to the nurses station and register or let them know you are there. You will then end up getting the first appointment of the day.

I sussed this out near the end but it was worth it... it meant I got out of there by 1030 and had the rest of the day in the office which was far preferable than going to the office, leaving, then going to hospital, then going back to work...

Hope this helps!
 
Good tip, intrigue. I learnt this the hard way after waiting 3 hours last Tuesday, as I was number 19. So boring!!

good luck at your next appointment!

by the way for scan appointments - I never had to wait long so didn't show up mega early for those.
