"Very rude rheumatologist"

About: Cheltenham General Hospital

My daughter had an appointment as she has been feeling unwell.I visit rheumatology o a regular basis and have always been very happy.When you are ill and feeling low and in a lot of pain it would be nice for the consultant to be a little compassionate.My daughter was so distraught when she came out and immediately changed consultants.She is very hardy when ill and had waited a while for her appointment,I have noticed that if you are over 8 stone you get treated as nothing,and it is not always the reason for all of our illnesses

Hello there,

We're really sorry to hear about your daughter's experience in the rheumatology department. If you haven't already done so I would recommend speaking to our patient liaison (PALS) team who will be able to take a few more details and investigate further the issues you have raised. You can call PALS on 0800 019 3282 (Free phone) or email pals.gloucestershirehospitals@glos.nhs.uk Many thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Best wishes The team at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
