doctors behaviour and attitude was shocking
I brought my daughter in today as she has been feeling unwell , she needed her throat and tonsils checked as i suspected an infection due to white spots and swelling, along with other symptoms. the doctor did a quick flash of the torch and said she was fine, i asked if he could do a real examination as that wasn't good enough. he then proceeded to laugh and asked if i wanted another doctor, i said no i want you to do your job and check my daughter properly as that isn't an examination. He then sat back in his chair with a smug smile and said to me " are you a doctor are you a nurse...... because if you was i would then listen to your opinion. I was furious at this comment !! i then went on to tell him it doesn't matter what i am qualified to do in my career i am telling you that this is not an examination, and she needed to be looked at properly. he then checked her oxygen and temp, did not check her glands ! and then thoroughly checked her throat like he should of to begin with . which is when he found white spots on her tonsils to show infection is there and needed antibiotics prescribed ! This doctors attitude was absolutely disgusting and i have never felt more patronised in all my life. My other daughter suffers greatly with her tonsils and i know what to look for . and to be told he will only take me seriously if i am a doctor or a nurse is diabolical. I am utterly shocked at the service we received today. And this so called doctor was soon quite when he had to prescribe antibiotics trying to cover his tracks and pretending like he knew what he was talking about. there was not one apology for the way he treat me and my daughter !
