I attended today for 3 things, the first was handled within a matter of seconds where the Dr started to close the appointment. I apologised and said I have a few other things to discuss and they rudely said it’s only a 10 minute appointment. Why even fetch that up when within the first minute the first issue was resolved? Also the appointment started a few mins early. So what was the rush?
I responded by saying we’re only 1 minute in.
They responded by saying they just can’t go passed 10 mins.
I have a severe mental health disorder which the Dr was aware of and things like this within government services 100% trigger me.
I appreciate it would be fair of them to make aware that 10 mins is maximum, but it was their tone and attitude towards having a few other bits to sort out.
Perhaps say, I’d gladly listen to all of your concerns and I will do my best to have them resolved within the 10 minute time slot.
Not make me argue the fact it’s only 1 minute in!!
No concerns from this Dr if I was giving my issues less severity first… what if there was a real urgent issue needing addressed?
I do feel sorry for the elderly as I know if my nan seen this dr she’d get no further forward as wouldn’t defend herself and wouldn’t want to be a burden.
Drs are supposed to have a real caring attitude but this one seemed like they just couldn’t be bothered.
Seething is an understatement.
"Rudely rushed appointment"
