About: Sunrise Medical Practice (Ghattaora)

booked in to have the check up regarding the contraceptive pill, and It turned into someone interrogating me regarding why I have put on 10 pounds since my last visit in February. I was asked to step onto the scale, once I told my reading they were shocked and asked if I was sure it said that. then after a couple of minutes I was asked to step onto them again in disbelief I have read this right. and started to interrogate me about the weight gain, which I understand is their job however I weight train at the gym 5 times a week and have been tracking and building muscle for months now bringing fat percentage down and muscle percentage up. I asked about BMI and they told me that this isn't accurate, and we shouldn't listen to that- They then went through my medical notes even though this visit wasn't regarding that and commented on these, baring in mind I have mental illness history. I Thought the way I was dealt with was very insensitive and made me feel personally humiliated, and a trip to check blood pressure turned into being interrogated about my weight and medical history. I have been with that doctors since I was a baby until I met this one medical professional! will not be seeing this person again I Will be requesting next not to have them next time.

We are sorry you were not happy with your last consultation and felt interrogated by the clinician. We work to protocols and guidelines hence the need to ask questions about changes in health (including weight). I will pass on your feedback to the team
