"Very rude doctor "

About: Leicester General Hospital

I came down to the hospital with severe abdominal pain after being told by my gp it was possibly appendicitis the nurses were lovely but when I had my inspection with a female doctor was told it was muscular and nothing serious when I asked if that would be causing me pain when trying to urinate she said that they would do a bladder scan a nurse attempted to do a scan even trying a second machine before asking the doctor for help who then came to try after a couple of attempts said that my bladder wasn’t full enough so they were unable to complete scan and then she said with all my checks they have spent about £1000 on me and won’t spend anymore time looking at me I suffer with a learning disability and struggled to understand some of what the doctor was saying and she made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome I hope I never have to attend the general hospital again
