"Absolutely gutted "

About: Ashfield Medical Centre

My son who is just 20 years old with lots of problems: mental or physical ones again tried to ask for help and he was given an advice from do called doctor to get a job and everything will be solved. This is ridiculous! Outrageous! Doctors should be there for help, not for belittling people, especially young man with a problem, who comes for getting help. It’s not easy for him to make a decision and ask for help from GP anyway, because his problems are always questioned and instead of discussing seriously they are answered sarcastically.

The young man asks for help because he’s got problems with his both arms, he can’t lift anything without feeling pain, he can’t use a pen or lift even a mobile phone for longer than few minutes and instead of sending him for MRI scan( what he was asking for), he’s been told to get a job.

What job he can get without using hands?!

What kind of doctors are you?!

Who are you?!

Disgrace and shame to you and your practice, shame on you!!!

Unfortunately you have not put details as to who you are, or those of your son. If your son makes contact with us directly we will be able to discuss with him further. We cannot investigate what may or may not have been said without knowing further details. Kind Regards Ashfield Medical Centre
