"Melton Mowbray hospital - Never again"

It will be a long time before I visit the dermatology department of this hospital again. The consultant was kind enough to award me 3 minutes of his time with no apology for the fact that he was running 50 minutes behind schedule. His attitude was totally dismissive & after an extremely cursory examination (10 seconds) & no questions regarding my current medication, he was writing a prescription within 1 minute. When I was foolish enough to ask his opinion on the cause of this condition, he replied "your age". Well I may be over 70 but I'm not stupid. I would probably have had a better diagnosis from the cleaner
