"He didn't listen to anything I had to say,..."

About: Royal Preston Hospital

He didn't listen to anything I had to say, basically shut the door and said he didn't believe anything I had to say. He began doin the pin prick test at which point I told him I have numbness down my left side. He gets out a pin from a box of others so my guess is they ain't sterile and he begins poking my legs very fast. I told him there is a difference from my right leg which is fine and my left which is numb. Once I get home and get changed I find he has been poking me that bloody hard I have multiple points down my legs where he actually pierced my skin! In my thighs I have 7! Within 1 inch from each other. That's how fast he was stabbing my legs. Totally unacceptable and now I have to wait for a referral to manchester. 14 months I have had problems with walking and blackouts and left sided weakness. My driving career was ended thanks to these neurologists and I feel let down massively due to the overall lack of care I have had which from the hospital is nothing. Avoid this hospital like the plague!
