They do tell you that you can register at any G.P. surgery, any local one or the universty health service.
So take their own advice and go somewhere else. It's good to get out. Whether or not you find the place alright, the opening hours aren't good anyway at the Richard Verney student health centre, and the waiting times are the longest which I have experienced. (I had tried to make appointments but they always said just to drop in, which became very unpopular with me.) Edinburgh is a nice city and I don't doubt that it has lovely and efficient G.P. surgeries.
Objectively, I can't see any benefits and some disadvantages of using that one rather than some of the nice ones nearby or anywhere else in the city.
It does have a travel vaccine clinic, if you are going abroad to more exotic places, but this is run by a different outfit, a group of nuns, and the health service told me that anyone can use that clinic, by making an appointment when needed by first contacting the student health service, whether registered or not with the student health service.
Also, students still have to pay here for travel jabs, I think as much as any private clinic in the city.

Actually I liked the Travel Vaccine Clinic very much. The Irish nuns were very sensible and not from magazines like the poor doctors and nurses! They were very nice and helpful at a time when I was planning to go abroad for a round the world trip by myself. And I also liked what was called the British Airways travel clinic, it is in a normal surgery and may have changed its name, its out at lovely Davidson Mains, on Quality Street. It is managed by very nice and down to earth Irish Sisters also.
I think the Richard Verney practice should have got some better, though they kind of droop during the year. I told the doctors that at the Richard Verney place though, as I used to be acquainted with some of them, though and I think it did register. I got the feeling, some time having elapsed, that the doctors couldn't believe the university, just from behaviour and this was terribly, terribly detrimental to a student patient. Perhaps it was very helpful to others. The magazines treatment was probably good for a lot of students, I don't know, but the difference suddenly gripped me when speaking to the nuns. I knew they would never let themselves be sidetracked by not being earthy, strict and sensible. It actually affected my travelling greatly and very positively and my life after. And if you can make appointments, it should be worth trying. You can register elsewhere as well, the best idea I suppose.

I don't get this.
You don't have to read at all. Reading back, some of my posts in the context are complex I find and require concentration which isn't a characteristic on some strands of T.S.R. and so it appeals to glance past, and I wrote them.
In my first year I thought the practice was alright, and part of my second year. But it really is the symptom of being a kind of a standard bearer, I reckon, as well as the last point, indeed most points, of comfort and help in the whole large institution which is a very big responsibility, especially if both staff and then many students are awry. I wasn't even aware when I was there much of what I am saying now about the medical facility both being a high reference and inspiration point, often the only thing identifiable, as well as serving this very real function within these real, thick and confused circumstances.
The doctors were always nice, professional, smart, sympathetic and helpful, and correct, in a more than difficult situation, but I really felt like it was some kind of dragon place to go to. The trickiness was also in trying to work out what kind of animals we all were, in this kind of life, should it be life of any kind.
And sometimes, the medical staff seemed to imply that I oughtn't to be there, and I oughtn't to trust even them as they were members of the company. These were my assumptions only though, separately, I did ask and what I write was confirmed, should it be that what I alleged to the medical centre staff was true, and it is far from the fault, ever I suppose, of the staff at the medical centre bec,use they had to help what was wrong, probably whilst assuming they were dealing with happy students in a very good place of study, which is far from the truth, it must be said while I don't relish it at all.) One might not blame the teaching staff, as they were sick, the problem being that the student ought to have brought the tutor to the doctors for relief from the student's problem. There is little else to say, though it seems ridiculous and when I thought of this information in abstraction at times I thought it was a ridiculous idea and arrogant, punch-drunk or simply sickened and mistaken notion.
Perhaps because not only did I very strongly though only partly conciously realise that it must be an impossible role to have, I seemed to get this confirmed to me when I attended. I don't mean there was any lack of professionalism, but my instinct was being, rather than put aside and my soul massaged, at once, verified, to my ongoing surprise.

I don't mean there was any lack of professionalism, but my instinct was being, rather than put aside and my soul massaged, at once, verified, to my ongoing surprise.
I remember now that some of the medical staff whom I had spoken to had tried very hard to help me and within a viable plan of helping the university, "I shouldn't trust the staff.", was what I was told. Otherwise it may very well be I will get sick, if what I confided to a lovely and wise doctor, was true. Unfortunately, severe memory loss and mechanised continuance followed, usual in my history. The doctor was both in professionalism and as a victim here also unable to help so much further. I thank her especially and the others greatly for the help which they gave.
The truth I was told and I write here, that it might be that you should not submit to trusting parts of the rest of the company when the company is the problem, may hold tru for many people. There can be psychic illness conveyed in this manner, which exacerbates and provides a focus and concentration and then continuation of the sickness of the insitution itself.
I don't mean to frighten anyone, but this is one of the ways you can get ill in a continual sense at university if there are problems within the insitution generally, or even just perhaps, specifically, as related to you. It could be perhaps an element in your life which may prevent you from seeing sense which would otherwise and in another situation, or before in your life, be obvious or rather clear to you, at least after a while.
That is why, apart from the benefits of even in a good and well institution, involving your life with more than one group of people and so visions of life in life, I have recommended that you register and use, perhaps as well as the Richard Verney health centre, another doctors practice in Edinburgh. This is reasonable or good advice anywhere you are studying.
It is in part a nice notion that from when you receive your 'freshers pack' and your accommodation guide notes at the beginning of first year probably to when you are given a certificate of qualification a few years later, all the advice and basic services in your life relevant to how you are and your very, very special level of development, may be from the one same company of people. It is nice to include in your life people who are not a part of this one entity, however varied or widely or even hugely developed the identites within the big insitution may be. One benefit of is that the elements of your life which are affected are affected in a basic way. Seeing this, also though, it may be seen that it is a very, very good idea for your senses and your mind to expand in ambit from relying on the college alone, if this means buying a car or taking train journeys or whatever. It would be very easy to rely on a university or college for your life, missing many exciting and perhaps somewhat necessary or very relevant elements of life for you, which you have to hunt out, near, further, or far.

Enigmatic. I really wish I understood any of those posts.
Yea he never makes a lot of sense.. usually a load of pretentious waffle.
Anyway... I enrolled at another surgery only because it was 5 mins up the road from where I live! Why don't you like the uni practice?

I'm afraid it is the very clear opposite of what is pretentious, forever. And what I have written here is perhaps some of the most serious communications I have made regarding Edinburgh Unviersity. I may use sentences which might be a bit advanced and quite serious mostly for someone considering secondary schools but not for those looking at universities. Excuse my sometimes clearly poor typing also, please.

I am pleased to say that some of my what I say in my posts has been given before in previous years. The same comments or similar ones have returned, I don't know why, though I was informed that they might.
