"Belittled and demoralised"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead)

The lady before my appointment made it very clear she was going in to complain about her care.

When I went in afterwards the Doctor was curt, dismissive, seemed unaware of history and why I was even there, dismissive of my complaint, told if I chose to have a baby then expect to live with consequences it was my choice,

I asked if they would re-examine me at which they were irritated "if you insist" was very rough and found whole experience distressing.

Left in tears.

Have asked GP to write as was unhappy and they have no idea who I am, said I've slipped thru net.
