I attended a&e at the advice from a physio. I attended a&e reluctantly after a past bad experience. I arrived at approximately 1pm and at approximately 6.30pm I was called by a Dr who from the minute I sat down I found to be rude and dismissed my symptoms.
I am already waiting for urgent tests as an outpatient but due to worsening and worrying symptoms I attended for advice. To sit for 5 hours to be in with the Dr and totally be dismissed. And in and out in 10 minutes. I also was not happy with the most rushed examination.
I had an app 4 week’s previous and the same examination was thorough not rushed. So for to attend already worried and be in and out in 10 minutes after waiting 5 hours is not acceptable.
