So, I'm heading to Robert Black Health Centre in a few weeks for a check-up. Heard mixed things – some say it's great, others... not so much. My aunt swore by the nurses there, said they were angels… more

Honestly, doctor experiences are so subjective. My neighbour raves about the place, says Dr. Black himself is brilliant, but then again, she's also the type to think a paper cut is a medical emergency.

If you’re a nervous wreck about needles, maybe call ahead and see if they have any techniques to help ease anxiety. Preparing yourself mentally might be more useful than any review you can find online. Good luck!

Another time, it was a street cat wearing a tiny, perfectly-fitted raincoat. Seriously. No joke. You'll find way more than just tea houses, trust me. Prepare for the unexpected. And maybe bring a flashlight.
