Waste Of Time

Story from nhs.uk

"Waste Of Time"

About: Bishop Auckland Hospital

Waste of time I went for an appointment in the gynaecology department and the doctor I saw made me feel as if I was completely wasting my time and they wouldn't do any tests. Now I have more stress and still live with the same symptoms I've had for nearly two years. I basically felt as if I was wasting my time and Just because I'm a bit overweight (which I am losing) I was not taken seriously. I am seriously considering asking to see a different more experienced person for my next appointment. Hopefully they will actually address the issues present next time and not just send me away with a prescription for pain killers that I can buy cheaper in the shop. Complete Waste of Time!
