Worst Gynecology Experience

Posted By Elizabeth221

"Worst Gynecology Experience"

About: New Victoria Hospital / Gynaecology Clinic

(as the patient),

I've been left traumatised after a terrible gynecological experience. The Dr I saw severely lacked in empathy, professionalism and manners. Their tone was off from the get-go which further escalated the bad experience. I left with no answers and cried the rest of the day! I would be very cautious to any woman visiting this hospital. As a patient suffering needlessly, I went in the hopes of improving my symptoms and quality of life. I left that appointment feeling disempowered, patronised, mortified and made to feel that my health isn't worth improving. 

I won't ever be back!
