"Had a terrible experience and hope to never be..."

I had an echocardiogram  at Chase Farm Hospital recently and it was a terrible experience.  The lady who did it hardly acknowledged my existence, and ignored me apart from instructions.  The worst was her lack of sensitivity to the fact that I was lying on the chair exposed because the exam necessitated removing clothes for access to the chest. At one point she has to leave the cubicle for a few minutes and left the curtain open even though there were other people in the room, including another male patient.  I could not get up to close it because I was connected to the machine, and the hospital gown wouldn't close properly because of the wires and gel. I could  only ask her to close the curtian when she returned. Later she also called in a  male colleage to discuss something unrelated to my examination, and neither asked if I was fine with him coming in while I was half naked. I left feeling humiliated even to the point of assaulted. It was horrible, unprofessional and seems like staff could benefit greatly from sensitivity training. I would recommend future female  patients to go elsewhere for an echo.
