"Condescending attitude, lack of empathy and no..."

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

Ward 9 - some amazing nurses and healthcare assistants . However the scores completely changed once the doctor spent time assessing me . I'm now leaving the ward in exactly the same condition I came into but now feeling more upset due to the treatment of this person. Their attitude was condescending , didn't want to listen to anything I had to say . Didn't examine me at all but has made their mind up by reading my notes . I'm not sure if they have me down for some reason as a time waster but that's definitely the attitude they gave me . Hospital is the last place on earth id choose to be . I didn't ask to come here my doctor admitted me . Was also told information is been given in the past my other surgeons was incorrect. I'm absolutely appalled by the treatment which is a shame as I unfortunately have spent time in this ward previously due to a miscarriage and the consultant there was everything the one today was not . And just to be completely clear I'm still in just as much pain as what I was when I was referred yesterday.

Disgusted .
