"Disgusted"

Recently visited the walk in doctors in Leeds due to swelling on the side of my face and a lot of pain, i had had ear infections before and the pain in my jaw and ear was of the same strength.

When entering the room i explained to the doctor how i thought i had an ear infection and explained my symptoms, they then briefly looked in my ears and told me there was no infection there- fair enough. However the doctor then did not go on to look into my problems further, they more or less shoo'd me out of the door telling me it was a dental problem and "an abscess will probably need draining", as ive never had anything wrong with my teeth before i found this very distressing. After this i went on to the dental hospital in Leeds who were a lot more attentive and tried to see me as soon as they could, however with my problem not being a dental problem at all after 3 hours of checks and x rays they sent me on my way with antibiotics.

After the swelling spread to the other side of my face and down my neck i then signed up to Leeds Student Medical Practice where they gave me an emergency same day appointment and finally told me i had mumps whom prescribed me with strong painkillers. If only the first surgery would have been as caring and attentive i would have been caused a lot less stress and pain.
