Anything else?
When my mother, who is 81, complained that the taking of blood pressure was hurting her arm the nurse told her that she should have said she had a bad arm in the first place.... not sympathetic. . Later, when I required some clarification on information the same nurse had given me, she repeated it to me very slowly as though I was an idiot child. I don't know whether she was having a bad day or that is her usual demeanour, whichever , I consider it unsatisfactory. That said, both my mother and myself found the doctor himself very helpful and informative.
