I was in A&E for over 7 hours, when I was told the waiting time would be a maximum of 4. The nurse in triage were really friendly and were the only people who were kind and welcoming.
The doctor seemed quite junior and I found them to be extremely rude. They laughed when I had told them about myself. I cannot remember exactly what at, but they burst out laughing directly to my face. I was confused and in shock.Then they did not seem to believe me when I said I had pain which comes and goes and then shoots randomly. At that moment it hadn’t come but I knew where the pain is located. They suggested that it didn’t exist and didn't seem to believe me. I felt like they were trying to make me feel dumb and stupid. I was genuinely disgusted.
I was fed up so I decided to leave. The doctor then called up and said that they had called out my name and I had just left and made me wait and your prescription is irrelevant over the phone so bye.
I feel they were a junior doctor and in my view not fit to work with people. I won’t ever be coming here again
