Need a doctor
Hi everyone. I wonder if someone could recommend a doctor, or point me in the right direction. I am currently in the Algarve.
It's not an emergency, otherwise I'd take myself off to the local hospital, but I do feel the need to discuss my problem with a good doc who can speak some english. I am pretty sure that some blood tests will be needed and probably some xrays and an ecg - basically I want a complete check-up.
I have a small UK policy that covers me for small amounts, and I can top this up from my own pocket. What I don't want to do is wander into a random private clinic and come out with a big bill.
I am on extended holiday in a motorhome, so can get around.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Need a doctor
Dr Julio Travino at Taviclinica (SOS) in Tavira. Really nice guy (I have a doctor phobia). Appointment roughly €40, not sure of the cost of other tests.
