"Consultant"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

I was at ENT, for my health issue the consultant recommended an MMR scan, I had one before and it was a nightmare for me I couldn't continue with the scan. I asked the doctor today is it similar like last time I meant the size of the scanner he saod yes I asked is there different sizes as I saw in America they used a bigger size for my mum, he replied only if you want to go to the zoo and use their's... what kind of a doctor replies like that to a patients. I was really upset. If I can I will switch to a different doctor.
