"It's how I've been left to feel; a nuisance"

Upon arrival the staff, facilities and building was impressive. It all went wrong when I was seen by the practitioner; I've no idea what their position was or their name, they never introduced themselves!

This Dr, assume, who was cold and totally disconnected. I sat the whole time looking mainly around the room and the top of their head whilst they wrote. Bear in mind after 2 years of menstrual nightmares I was very ready to listen, open minded and had lots of question about ending the turmoil id acquired.

I was asked questions and I answered such as history etc. I wanted to ask a few too but received this reply, "stop talking". and told me and drew a picture of what was going to be done to basically end all questions. I was also told they wanted to do a biopsy,

NOW. I refused. I was too upset by this time to even consider having this person check my bp. After the glare and tut at my refusal and said as a matter of fact this would be painful I refused again and said this will be done when I am under General anaesthetic. I was absolutely disgusted by my experience of professional and thank goodness for the lovely nurse who finished my checks eg weight, height, forms etc because they were lovely.

I can say I am extremely anxious about my pre-op assessment and the actual procedure. I am doing my own research for my unanswered questions and hope this person is not going to be there for these 2 visits. I have lost confidence.

We rely on their expertise, medical professionals, and we are totally subjective and vulnerable, This person knew this and chose to erk their responsibility to provide care and reassurance to the subject matter, a human being.

I feel my feelings were totally dismissed. I was to be quiet. Shut up and listen and be told what is going to be done. I find this odd to be told stop talking? I expected an open conversation about any treatment. ask faqs about procedure eg will I be able to go home the same day, can I go back to my regular exercise, what is an endo' ablation?

Not known this before. I exoected to ask then go home feeling good that I was I good hands. I am actually dreading it. I just don't feel comfortable. I believe if I have this person they will not care and could be at risk of negligence through sheer angry, indifference and "don't care" attitude. It's how I've been left to feel; a nuisance.

My pre-op is in a few weeks and procedur in a few months so I've a long time to try and deal with the anxiety. I am just praying it will all be unfounded and disproved.
