Do some doctors even listen to their patients?

"Do some doctors even listen to their patients?"

About: Rotherham Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I recently came to see a Dr. at the orthopaedic clinic after being referred by my doctor. Throughout the appointment he hardly looked at me while speaking to me and when asking me questions he didn't listen to my answers and even on one occasion after correcting him, he still wrote down his previous own version.

Throughout the appointment he also never explained to me what he thought might be the problem and didn't give me any advice as to how to cope with it until i next saw him. To say I am really concerned about my present condition, he in no way helped the situation, and if anything added to it.
