"Bad specialist"

I visited rheumatology department for a 2nd opinion as I was misdiagnosed prior in different hospital. I thought Northwick Park hospital will do better, boy was I wrong. Maybe these short waiting times in comparison to other hospitals are here for a reason... .

The rheumatologist I saw didn't give me a chance to explain the symptoms fully, denied possibility of diagnosis because of my age (osteoarthritis isn't old folks disease only), minimised severity of my condition (just because I can bend forward doesn't mean all is good with me) and in the end I received a report stating I have a joint pain. So my diagnosis became 'a symptom'. I came here to find out what was causing my joint pain not to be assured I had a joint pain, I already knew that.

I wish medical professionals stop treating their patients like fools. I am educated enough in medical science to understand when someone is telling me porkies and when things don't make sense.

I am now back to the begining, no clue what's causing my joint issues.
