"Degrading experience"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Xrays & Scans

(as the patient),

I went for a ct scan today.

Once again I was asked if I was born male or female despite them being fully aware gynaecology referred me and my previous complaint where it was acknowledged that this question shouldn't be asked after the fact. If I get asked it again I won't respond because I believe it's stupid and insensitive to someone who had cancer. I also said I don't want to be repeatedly poked with a needle because I don't want covered in bruises and the staff member that first tried to use the needle on me told me it's only been tried once so.

I am allowed to tolerate only so much and I don't need a sarcastic and dismissive tone but they seemed in a really bad mood.

They also failed to cannulate me so had to get the ct scan without the contrast dye. Just a total palava to be honest.
