I attended a Gynecology /appointment at Rapid Access Unit Hairmyres Hospital. Having a previous history of cancer and now experiencing abdominal pain I gave a history of my symptoms and timelines to the Consultant. As you can imagine I am very concerned. I was astonished by the attitude of the consultant who showed little interest in my concerns and almost dismissed me saying I'll be fine as I was ushered out of the door. I have to wait for a scan (which could take up to 2 months before it is carried out) and return to my GP to arrange onward referral to another consultant as she will not do this.
The Dr provided little information and I had to ask many questions to understand what the findings were.
I have came away from appointment concerned and unsure what to do next. I also feel the Dr did the examination and was disinterested thereafter regarding my situation.
