Very disappointing

Story from nhs.uk

"Very disappointing"

About: Tameside General Hospital

What I liked

Very little

What could be improved

The doctor I was given was very rude and verbally over-powering towards about my symptoms, which increased my anxiety levels.

I then said to the doctor that I did not want her examining me because of the bad impression she gave in the first part of the appointment, and obviously I did not wish to put my trust in her. I told her to stay away from me.

Anything else?

So my problems are unresolved and for all I know something bad could be growing in my body. I don't understand why some doctors behave this way, as surely treating patients in a sensitive/professional way cannot be that hard.

I am now choosing to go privately because I have been failed.
