Your experiences with this consultant are so dire that I wonder about the suicide rate of people attending his clinic.
I am not suicidal. but the 'consultation' with this Dr has definitely had a delayed effect on me and I am feeling down about it.
I think delayed shock.
The fact is, he made me feel like I shouldn't have been there and am selfish to ask for treatment. Worthless.
Yes, I have decided to highlight it. I'm sure this won't help my 'cause' - but I feel it is important that people know how things are for some of us , especially if we dare to ask any ask questions.
My previous consultant was a lovely, kind and excellent Dr, so they're not all the same, but I was allotted this one without any notice. I do feel they are shipping in younger, less experienced Drs to save money now.
It was very awkward because he also contradicted himself - and it became apparent to me he had lied. He knew it and I knew it. This was at the start and unfortunate - For me that is. (I did manage to keep quiet re the 'contradiction' and not point it out)
I have been urged to 'press for an Ultrasound and treatment as soon as possible' by another Dr, would rather not say who. How can I do this if I am not to be seen until minimum June 2016?
I have brought up the matter of the questionable 2nd fibroscan and this Drs reponse ws 'There's no o difference between 8.7 and 6.1' .
It has made me rather tearful, you seek medical advise, wait 8 months for an appointment and they make you feel like a ungrateful beggar. I will clearly have to treat myself, although I get the feeling monitoring will not be forthcoming on the NHS.
This is not my point of principle though, that is the manner in which we are (un) - treated
Then what the hell are they there for, just asking! (apart from drawing a salary under some kind of bizarre false pretences)
My feelings exactly zhuk.
Think he was drafted in to tell patients they will not be treated yet and why. No intentions at all for a medical consultation.
I'm starting to wonder if there is something on my medical records - It's been difficult all the way though - Excpet for one nice Dr and I originally saw him privately, but he did go the extra mile.
My first Dr after waiting for 3 months after diagnosis, didn't turn up - He just left a note with the receptionist saying 'He didn't want to see me'.
