I had an appointment with the ENT consultant on 28th November. I got this appointment after being unwell for 3 months with post nasal drips, infection and blocked nose. At the appointment the consultant couldn't push the camera inside my nose because it was painful and blocked. They said that they would refer me for a CT scan urgently. After two weeks I got a letter that the consultant has discharged me because they couldn't see any problem. I went to a private consultant who managed to push the camera inside my nose and immediately diagnosed mucus and infection and blocked nose. The consultant prescribed antibiotics and made appointment for CT scan. I can't understand how the first consultant could discharge me. They even said that I should go to AE. When I went to A&E I was humiliated. They said " don't you understand what emergency means" Now I have to spent several thousand ponds for my treatment.
We pay our taxes to have aches to free medical treatment and pay these doctors salaries. Absolutely disgraceful.
"Very bad experience"
