[Margaret Pilkington]

I have worked with Doctors who were difficult to understand, but I would just refer to the notes...... that was usually fairly straightforward and then if I hadn't understood (which wasn't very often) I could clarify things for the patient. One of the hardest Doctors to understand was a heavily accented Glaswegian.......I had just got used to his accent when it was time for him to move on. Hamish Kirkpatrick was another guy who was hard to understand because he used to mumble.... the best of it was his writing was in mumble too!
