"Unnecessarily uncomfortable"

I am very dissatisfied with all aspects of my experience on this occasion. The gynaecological visit took place with my legs in a sitting position (rather than in the common knees/feet raised) dangling off the bed. The doctor intended to carry out a hysteroscopy which was unsuccessful due to the uncomfortable position. There was no mention as to the reason for this 'sitting' position and the only alternative offered was to book me in for a general anaesthetic. I am still shocked at such approach and have sought private care, which has been satisfactory.
