"Had to convince a doctor I had a viral not..."

About: Bradford Student Health Service

Boomed student. After just having a lecture about viral hsv conjuctivitis i got prescribed antibiotics. Pleading the BRI for some antiviral treatment and calling up the student health centre didn't help, I had to wait-and keep taking useless antibiotics

Now left with a scratch on my eye.

My last conversation with the doctor-me- so it is vital infection?(it was after 2weeks)

-well,treatment didn't work so probably yes-

15 min later-

Doctor- so ,what treatment do you want next? Should I prescribe you more antibiotics?-

And discharged me ... conjuctivitis is recurring most of the time, to discharge a patient right after the eye is not swollen anymore is like pushing a button on a bomb and leave it be. Three days later optometrist saw a scar inside the eye and smiled at the screen when I told a story of my treatment...

Another time.same doctor (make) asked me 3 times if I was pregnant... while I came to see the doctor to complain about painful periods .

My studies and my job suffered,and my vision . Have no idea if I would have had ulcer if it was treated right,Just hope I wouldn't

I would rather have my classmate treat me.

Too bad,im sure that there's a lot of good doctors but how can a practitioner like that be in charge of a practice???

Dear Patient,

I am very sorry to hear that you feel you have experienced poor service at the health centre . Unfortunately it is difficult to respond to such a review without looking into your medical record and the facts further. Please could you contact our reception team as soon as possible on 01274 371380 in order to arrange a meeting with me.

Kind regards

Elaine Shaw

Practice Manager
