I was recently sent to A and E by the out of hours GP service. I was discharged after being seen the following morning by a neurologist and the physiotherapist.
The neurologist said that if my condition worsened I was to come straight back. Leaving aside any other issues, my complaint is about the consultant who I met before the neurologist who said in a brusque fashion that I 'should not be in an acute hospital'. I can't remember their name and when I asked the junior doctor with them if they were an A and E consultant, I think they said that they weren't. Maybe I am being oversensitive but I didn't care to be spoken to like that as if I was cluttering the place up.
I have been a reluctant but previously satisfied customer and have said so.
"Brusque manner"
