My father had a chest infection and I asked the nursing staff for a review by the doctor as he was particularly unwell and becoming confused. The doctor arrived at 850 pm in outdoor clothes and glancing at the clock in the wall announced that they were going off duty at 9 pm and that they could give us ten minutes . We felt the doctor barely listened and as with all the doctors we seemed to come in contact with, announced that they did not normally work on that ward and did not know my father .
The doctor barely listened to my concerns re my father and did not examine him . I was shocked at this doctor's level of arrogance .
This behaviour is not acceptable and I feel shows complete disdain for the elderly who are due much more than this and it costs nothing to be polite . I have grave concerns re this doctors ability to be in the “ caring profession “ I am deeply saddened for my elderly father to be treated in such a manner
"Arrogance of doctor"
