"apoointment at gynaecology department"

About: Royal Derby Hospital / Gynaecology

I have had a number of appoitnment at gynaecology department. So far not once they have seen me on time. Not only that the avarage waiting time is 30min or. On my last visit I was given different doctor and was only informed that upon entering the room. Not only that I was also told that this new doctor won’t even see me again. So much for having consistency. On another her visit another male gynaecologist was very dismissive of my worries over have a procedure that. That felt inappropriate and unnecessary. Every visit at the hospital is raising my blood pressure as I don’t know who I am goi g to see, how long I will be waiting and how much time off work I have to take. Far from being satisfied.
