(1) map on site opposite lodges(might of been for cancer) on one way system after visitor parking stated Pain clinic Green zone level 2. Which it wasn't after a tour of the building, (2) told by information booth to take this form & sit in Area 3 until I was called. Which I did & as my time slot came and went 30 minutes after this a rude nurse said we need your form to know your here(they noticed as they were moaning to someone behind a desk & I heard my name so I looked over) after a 25 minute wait (I'm not moaning about time at all) the Doctor appeared with a face like thunder & I gather I'd interrupted their breakfast/lunch. And my "Morning" fell on deaf ears, what's wrong with you then? So I explaned the procedures iv had on a chronic condition & Beneden hospital suggested another attempt at Steriod injections. The doctor was very annoyed I didn't know who administered them (only name of hospital) then replied I'm no more intelligent than these other doctors & go back to your GP and request to see a London Hospital with a college as they would be better placed to diagnose or act on the problem. Visit lasted about 4 to 6 minutes and was a very cold attitude with very very little eye contact or even a hello or a hand shake. Maybe I'm only judging by the Beneden hospital & fawkham manor hospital standards. And don't know if my GP sent no information (had a letter from them in a folder) but I would certainly drag myself to another hospital rather than return. Sorry for spelling etc as I don't ever write complaints
