consultant told me i was fine i wasnt,

Story from nhs.uk

"consultant told me i was fine i wasnt,"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

Went to visit after waiting months for the appointment . Never got examined doctor laughed when I told them how ill I felt. Why would a vascular doctor laugh . Came away from the consultation in tears . I then collapsed at home with a massive heart attack . When another hospital examined me they found my heart was back to front . The first consultant didn't even examine me they just shrugged me off . Ive had heart surgery and am now fighting for my life.

Up to now had lots of stents and more needed.

. Disgusting the first doctor laughed I'm not laughing what a disgrace to other consultants who do their job well . I am seeking advice now from a third party.
