As I’m a type 2 diabetic I had to get some medicine organized which means finding a doctor. The medical center in Josselin only has one GP and it’s fair to say that he’s not universally popular so the only other GP in town is very busy. Luckily there’s a health center in Guégon a couple of kms away which has plenty of doctors so I walked there on Monday and made an appointment as it’s easier than explaining things in French on the phone. The receptionist was a very nice guy who had lived in NZ for a year and he explained that they weren’t taking on new patients but I could have an appointment for 6pm that day 🙂

As it turned out they rang me while I was walking back and changed it to 11 on Tuesday which suited me well as it’s been very hot this week, the mornings are OK but 33 – 34 in the afternoons.

The doctor was a very charming young woman and an excellent doctor. I was quite impressed with the whole setup particularly when you consider that the population is just 2200.

It’s been a fairly quiet week apart from that due to the heat, we mostly stayed inside as the ground floor of the house remains cool thank goodness. Pauline working and me trying to stay cool mostly.
