Thoroughly let down by the NHS

Story from nhs.uk

"Thoroughly let down by the NHS"

About: The Bradgate Mental Health Unit

After waiting months through NHS referrals and waiting lists, seeing a consultant psychiatrist finally booked in for The Bradgate Mental Health Unit. The Junior psychiatrist was polite patient and very professional. The consultant when he finally arrived after a long wait was in a hurry, made us feel rushed and did not care for finding out about the patient and simply wanted to be out the room. Hardly caring to introduce himself we felt discarded as he left the room dismissing us to another clinic after a brief two minute quiz repeating things which we had talked about in detail to the Junior psychiatrist and not giving us adequate time for questions to be raised.
