"Uncaring unhelpful no empathy "

About: Ormskirk & District General Hospital

Over two years of going to my gp regarding heavy painful prolonged periods, coil and contraceptive useless , finally referred to gynaecologist, small fibroid found , several PAINFUL procedures followed and I was PROMISED if my symptoms where the same after fibroid is removed then I could have the hysterectomy I was fighting for . So six months after the removal under a GA I went to see the gynaecologist again already highly emotional due to severe PMS I was asked what the problem was !!! how hard is it to read my notes so I began re explaining through my tears and this dr sits there blank faced clearly not caring and says what is it you want I say the hysterectomy I was promised she said no there is no funding and suggestedi try the coil again this absolutely floored me ! I unfortunately got very cross and said dont you dare do this to me please please please help me she repeated there was no funding and that the consultant may be able to request funding but it was high unlikely, I did swear and storm out which is very unlike me but I was distraught I mean I felt like I was screaming underwater , I've cried constantly since this appointment it's a disgraceful way to treat a woma in pain

I dont have £5000 to g private so i guess I'm expected to suffer
