"Demeaning and degrading"

About: St Lukes Hospital / Infectious diseases

.

I have never come across a more arrogant doctor who made the patient feel unwelcome and unworthy. My son left the consultation feeling demoralised and hopeless. The doctor was patronising and contemptuous leaving my son feeling degraded.and demoralised.

The doctor showed no compassion or understanding of my son’s condition and the doctor’s body language displayed boredom.

The doctor displayed more interest in tidying his desk than listening to the patient. When challenged about the outcome of the consultation the doctor shrugged his shoulders - totally disinterested. As it was 5 pm I guess getting us out of the office was more important than the consultation.
