"Rude patronising consultant"

The consultant made me cry, they were so rude and patronising. The consultant basically called me an alcoholic when explaining a Pregnancy related liver condition they said "oh ur a drinker then!" Very upsetting that anyone with a liver condition even one that only relates to pregnancy that the consultant can assume people are alcoholics! I do not even drink! My throat was green hence why going to see them but mentioned my liver condition ICP as i have gone jaundice the doctor gave me antibiotics and told me i must see my gp as im jaundice, they didn't tell me what infection I have so I asked can this infection spread around my body? The consultant laughed at me and asked if I suffer with panic attacks! So rude and still didn't answer my question i've never had infection in my throat that sent it green or felt so unwell all over so asking if this type of infection could spread is not overreacting especially the fact they confirmed i'm jaundice! Will never use this service again and will be doing all I can to advise people of this rude consultant. I don't get why people like them work in this industry from the second the consultant called me into the room they had an attitude and make the experience very awkward didn't look me in the eye once it came across to me that they didn't want to be there and had no time for their patients
