"Poor bedside manner"

About: Sir Robert Peel Hospital

Anything else?

I visited this hospital as they had an earlier appointment in neurology than my home town burton on trent.. Boy do I wish I had gone to burton. I waited 40 minutes to see the neurologist which I wasn't too fussed about although there was nobody before me in that time, but the neurologist I saw performed some tests so fast that I couldn't keep up, he criticized me for seeing a chiropractor and when I asked his opinion he said he thinks that's non of my buisness as he's the neurologist and will await MRI results before he will even discuss anything. He said I must be a hypochondriac the fact I have taken myself to accident and emergency so many times this year and wasted people times?? When I told him I was advised to by Nhs direct he said they don't know how to do their job properly. Well I left feeling disgusted and managed to get an appointment at burton and was treated with respect and spoken to like a human being I can safely say I will not be returning to sir Robert peel agsin
