I went to this Doctor through an emergency appointment, and told him exactly what two specialists had instructed me to do. He completely ignored the specialists advice, and decided to give me tablets for an illness I didn't have; and I had told him this and been tested as negative for. On asking him what the medication was he was prescribing me, he said this thee times, 'Give this a go and come back and see me in two weeks time'. Another time was when my young child was suffering from a very bad flu, and was vomiting when coughing. He put a temperature probe in her left ear, and concluded that he wasn't going to give her anything as the worst was over; and he didn't like giving antibiotics. Two days later we took our child to the A&E as there was no improvement, immediately on being seen by a Doctor she was admitted to hospital. This Doctor just doesn't listen to what you tell him, and my family or myself would refuse an emergency appointment if it was with him due to previous times he has made ridiculous mistakes.
