Unpleasant experience

Story from nhs.uk

"Unpleasant experience"

About: Manchester Royal Eye Hospital

2 hour 45 minute wait

Consultant didn't introduce themself when we met

Continually spoke over my wife, did not ask for her views or preferences, sighed, eyes rolled skywards whenever she asked them a question. Physically rose their hands towards her to signal her to stop speaking

Also, critical through out of their colleagues who had previously treated my wife

All in all, unprofessional, poor communication skills, we were made to feel like a burden or interruption to their day

Hugely disappointed and shocked

We are very sorry to receive your comments and concerns via the NHS Choices / Patient Opinion website about your poor experience during September 2015 at the outpatients department at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (MREH). P lease accept our sincere apologies for the way you were treated as this is not the standard of service we expect for patients attending the MREH.
