"This doctor hadn't taken time to read my partner's notes"

About: West Middlesex University Hospital / Neurology

(as a carer),

Other half admitted with bacterial infection. Put on file a DNR notice without consulting with family before hand. (She has MS) Only learned about it the following day. Requested that it be removed from file or a note applied to cancel it. 

Was given a excessively graphic description of the resus process to persuade me to conform.

In the past, I've had to put up with threatening behaviour from a consultant who boxed me in with 2 junior doctors and spent 10 minutes verbally abusing me. This doctor hadn't even taken time to read my partner's notes. Had another doctor who seemed not to be able to tell a hand from a foot from an x-ray. Food is crap because they do not cook it properly.
