"waste of time"

About: Doncaster Royal Infirmary / Breast surgery

I wasnt satisfied that the doctor who saw me was thorough at all. Seemed extremely rushed and was slightly patronising because i have implants. The doctor spent only about 10 seconds very briefly pushing around my breasts. The doctor didnt even spend anytime feeling around for the lump which for someone who's had a couple of weeks feeling the lump and worrying about it....to not even have the doctor acknowledge the lump isnt very reassuring. I would have thought feeling where the lump is and size etc would have been necessary but apparently not. I was in and out in a minute and sent home. I feel for something that is very worrying for a woman and made into such a big deal and could potentially be very dangerous, a doctor should at least appear to take abit more time on the matter and not make you feel stupid about the situation. It has certainly made me feel unsure and put me off ever going back with a lump.
