"Waiting times and the attitude of the staff"

About: University Hospital Of Hartlepool

Anything else?

I have had 2 appointments at the obstetrics and gynaecology ward and both were over 1 hour and a half late with no explanation as to why that had happened. The second visit, I was seen by a very rude gynaecologist who treat me as though I was keeping him back late (the ward was closing by the time I was seen by him) I was offered an insincere apology and then I was sighed at continuously throughout the appointment and treat as though I was being petty in my complaint. He didn't listen to a single thing I said, disregarding my experiences with medication I had been given previously or telling me to handle it. All in all, I left half an hour later, feeling like I was a lesser being and angry at the treatment I received. It's not the hospitals fault, but the particular doctor's.
