"So unprofessional!!!"

I’m been to Purley walk in few weeks ago, in the early stage of my pregnancy. I was worried because I didn’t have anymore symptoms and I told the doctor that maybe I could have had a miscarriage, she laughed on me saying that she never heard something similar because to have a miscarriage you need to bleed, she told me ‘go to the pharmacy if the test is positive you’re pregnant, if it is not, you are not... THAT’S IT’ I left the clinic feeling very stupid, I had another test which was POSITIVE! Few days ago I had my first scan... the fetus stop growing at six weeks, when I went to Purley hospital, I WAS RIGHT!!! I had a silent miscarriage without any bleeding, no cramps, nothing at all!!! Just my pregnancy symptoms disappeared, but my body didn’t recognise the miscarriage so the pregnancy test is still positive... I’m so disappointed because I could know it a while ago, but the doctor just umiliated me and treated me like crazy and over worried first time mum without checking anything... RIDICULOUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

I am so sorry to hear of your situation and of the concerns you raise.

I am eager to investigate further but would like to take this opportunity to assure you that the response you received is in no way indicative of the care and professionalism we expect of our clinicians. Could I please ask that you make contact with me directly, as I need further details from you to be able to progress this matter and to make a full reply to you?

Regards,
