I had an appointment to go to the hospital to see the doctor about a problem with my bowels. I have seen the doctor before and the problem was easily fixed with over the counter medicine. But when I went in this time the doctor looked at me and said what are you doing here? It completely threw me off guard and I didn’t know what to say. They seemed very upset that I was there and I felt very upset too. I am not complaining about the doctor’s attitude, it’s just the way they said it, it made me feel very uncomfortable. They said you can fix this problem yourself. The whole thing has left me feeling upset and confused and I don’t know why I was sent the appointment if I wasn’t supposed to be there. I feel like someone has played a prank on me because of the way the doctor spoke to me. If I wasn’t supposed to be there then why did the receptionist take my appointment letter off me? I don’t know what I’ll do now if I get sent another appointment, I think I’ll have to ring and check that it is right.
