Came in an ambulance as a result of an asthma attack...although ambulance doctors relieved my symptoms they felt the need to take me to A&E
the doctor in barnet hospital was arrogant and ignorant not to mention unprofessional (putting down another gp is wrong!!!)
Not only did the doctor not examine me did not even take my peak flow..
...also asked for an inhalor since I ran out of my purple one the doctor told me that in an a&e they don't give out inhalors and that it is not a respiratory hospital....
What a waste of time....
Never again !!!
I would never put my life in the hands of those doctors......n I will never go there they r clueless n rude...worst doc ever

Hello
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback, the treatment you describe is below the standard we expect and I am sorry we did not manage your asthma attack better.
We employ some fantastic Drs in A&E and I would urge you to always seek urgent medical assistance at your closest A&E and not let this one poor experience impact on your future care.
Kind Regards
Richard
