21 year old daughter had an appointment with one of the lead doctors at Claughton practice. The Dr was extremely patronising and condescending. She prescribed 2x inhalers, without even checking daughters chest / peak flow, or if asthma was the issue. Refused to give another prescription for iron tablets, ‘why should I give you them’ despite daughter being anaemic, instead blamed the problem on low blood pressure, even though she didn’t bother taking my daughters blood pressure, so obviously she just guessed. Really poor ‘bedside’ manner, daughter suffers with anxiety anyway and felt she was being belittled and patronised instead of being listened to. Really poor, do better.
