The rudest most condescending man I have ever had the displeasure of being in the same room as. I couldn’t get an appt at my GP and was in lots of pain due to an extensor tendinitis in my left foot (I’ve had this once before so know what it is). I had tried resting and icing it for three days with ibuprofen and last night didn’t sleep at all because of the intense pain. He was clearly put out that I had self-diagnosed, despite the fact that the form you fill out asks you to do so. I couldn’t walk and he stood at the end of the hall waiting for me impatiently, while ANOTHER PATIENT helped me gather my things. When I went in, he opened with ‘Do you have training in this area?’ ‘Oh, you don’t, I see, interesting, interesting’. He dismissed what I know it is, and looked me up and down, and then said ‘Looking at you, I’d suggest it’s probably gout. Do you drink a lot’. Honestly I was left speechless. This is a disgusting inappropriate interaction between any two people, let alone a Doctor and Patient. Incredible.
