"Extremely Upset And Damaged"

About: Eastbourne District General Hospital

I had the same experience as the person below, except much worse..

I had an appointment in the gynaecology department and the doctor was rude and very rough during the examination. The doctor actually hurt me during the examination. The doctor didn't give me a chance to speak even when they had asked a question which led to them telling me things I already knew and that weren't helpful in the slightest. I am hard of hearing and when I asked them to repeat something, they shouted it at me. I walked in a fit women able to do most things, when I left the examination had damaged me so that now I am unable to do much at all.

I am extremely worried that this doctor will be doing this to other women. I will be making a formal complaint.
