"Doctor was insulting and not interested."

About: North Manchester General Hospital

What I liked

Reception staff very friendly and helpful

What could be improved

I visited the hospital due to me having a very painful foot, injury caused in the gym I think, The pain had got worse over the corse of a week so I decided to visit A&E. The Doctor was nothing short of rude too me, I am a 27 year old male before I had even got my shoes off they were asking about how often I go out to drink, how often I drink and had the nerve to suggest I binge drink, I have never been more offended, I said to the doctor that it had nothing to do with my injury. They asked me to take of my shows, failed to examine me properly, said it was just a sprain and sent me on my way.

The injury aside, I have never felt so insulted, Made me feel like I was wasting their time and I feel this was because of the way I looked maybe, I just threw on some jogger bottoms and a t-shirt and they make all sorts of asumptions about me.

They are a total disgrace.
