Complete waste of two and a half years!

"Complete waste of two and a half years!"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

What I liked

Only kindness shown by nurses

What could be improved

Knowledge and sensitivity shown by the Doctors.

Anything else?

I have seen various consultants and doctors about a very private and personal issue. I was presenting with pain and they proceeded to tell me that it was in my head or as another Doctor said they couldn't do anything. Since I have seen a private consultant gynocologist in Birmingham I have been diagnosed with a condition and recommended for surgury to relieve the pain. I finally after two and a half years of coming to this hospital asking for help, I have a diagnosis and treatment available! Because of the staff's incompitence I was on Anti-depressents and on the verge of giving up because not one would believe me or look into the case. Their bedside manner was non-existent. They ignored everything I was saying and I will never trust them with my health or life ever! Go anywhere other than hospitals based in the durham area if you want help. Trust me.
