I saw Dr Emmanuel and he was patronising, did not offer to listen properly, did not offer me further tests to get to the root of my problems and I was sent away with a sorry handshake, still in horrendous pain. I wanted to ask about another test, but we were interrupted by him answering his phone, telling someone what to do and to watch the cost due to....funding!! I continue to be in pain and if one test I had was inconclusive, and indeed a other basic investigations I had done, there were others I had not had done, but was told he doubted very much they would prove anything, and for psychological reasons, would not want to do them to raise my hopes of getting a negative answer. I am not absorbing my foods properly, I was losing weight, in great burning pain still in my abdomen, and my bowels are really badly constipated..having been told last year in May I have severe colonic transit and being refused anymore tests to check for worsening bowel disorder...which it has got a lot worse...and for emptying of the stomach as I swell so bad and am in so much pain especially by the evening. I go to bed screaming a lot. It has got so bad my life is on hold. . Yet I am told it is probably nerve damage. Despite telling him not one nerve pain medication helps. He did not know what was causing my odd symptoms. I left and just sobbed. He may be brilliant, but not for me. He was looking tired and did not like my questioning attitude I felt, and spoke to me as though I were stupid and it was all in my mind. I am devastated by his attitude...and am not alone. He was unshaven, scruffy too and he himself looked exhausted..but I am screaming in pain most evenings still...nerve medication makes it worse. I went to him as I thought he was tip top and keen to "always learn". I do not think so at all.
