"A terrible experience "

I suffer from severe chronic pain and can barely walk. I’ve been waiting for an appointment at this supposed centre of excellence pain clinic since last November. I had pinned all my hopes on this appointment. It was my last hope to diminish my pain and possibly recover my mobility. I was seen by someone with zero empathy and a dismissive and unsympathetic manner. He made it perfectly clear that he didn’t want me on the spinal cord clinic pathway and didn’t utter a single kind word. I was deeply traumatised and left the appointment in floods of tears. I cannot express the degree of my disappointment. I’d been battling with depression before this encounter and this was the final straw. I hope I never see that doctor ever again and wouldn’t wish such a horrible experience on my worst enemy.
