"Terrible"

About: South Tyneside District Hospital

On 4/10/24 at the antenatal clinic in South Shields. My wife had an appointment for 10am, we ended up leaving hospital at 12pm.

Maybe they had staff that night have called in sick? But no apologies, no explanations.

What's worse is the female Doctor who had to give the consultation didn't want to answer any of our questions about our child and responded to my questions saying "are you a medic!".

I really rate most the NHS and understand the strain they're on but for a Doctor to answer my questions about our unborn child with "are you a medic!" is unacceptable no matter what the circumstances. An embarrassment to our town.
