I went into A&E with a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Most of the staff were great--A&E reception, security, and the nurses there were all professional and kind. When I got to the A23 ward to be examined, most of the staff there were fine as well. It was only one doctor whose treatment of me was appalling. They talked to me like I was an inconvenience. I was scared and in a lot of pain, and it wasn't until I started crying due to the way I was being spoken to that I got an iota of compassion. I don't think someone with this attitude should be working with patients who are often in an emotional, vulnerable situation.
"Lack of compassion"
