I attended rugby hospital 30/06/2018 . Waited a long time for this appointment to be let down.
I sat in terrible pain in corridor. The nurses themselves was fabulous and moved me to a room with air conditioning as I felt faint.
The consultant I seen was absolutely shocking. He didn’t introduce himself. Could see I was in a lot of pain. He wouldn’t let me explain myself and was very abrupt with me.. he made me stand without my crutches. He took a few seconds to examine me with my clothes on by just sticking his finger on my coccyx..then just said go for X-ray.
I felt so uncomfortable I didn’t go for X-ray I left the hospital. I felt he had no compassion. He didn’t treat me with dignity and respect. I went home straight to bed and none the wiser . I am really suffering but looks like I wii have to now go through my gp all again to get referred to someone more sympathetic 😫😫
