I had an appointment with a doctor recently in the Eastwood Health and Care Centre. When I went in to talk about my eating disorder - which the doctor knows has been bad in the past few months and I’ve lost a significant amount of weight - I feel they were rude and made comments that have set me back massively.
It was obvious to me that the doctor hadn’t read my notes as they thought my ED started a couple of weeks ago. They knew I was struggling with a restrictive ED and told me the food I was managing to eat was bad food and unhealthy.
They then said there was good and bad foods - when there’s not, there’s just food. They told me to not eat carbs and I can lose weight healthily that way. I literally have an eating disorder.
They also backtracked on a promise they made to me when I last saw them and is now making me wait another 6 months, which has completely shattered the trust I had in them (I don’t trust them at all now) and I feel they basically just completely dismissed everything about my ED.
This has set me back massively. I didn’t even manage to eat afterwards due to their comments and I will really struggle to eat because my two safe foods have just been deemed unhealthy and bad food.
