I saw Mr Hewes whilst in Southmead Hospital he did not listen to me and made assumptions about me that were totally incorrect. Mr Hewes told me that I had a mild case of acute pancreatitus and I was discharged. I told him and subsequent doctors how much pain I was in and that it was ongoing and not intermittent but he still had me discharged.. I was a very fit and healthy 55 year old woman with no previous illnesses, I ate well and drank very little and as a doctor surely alarm bells should have rang regarding other causes. Because of his incompetence my condition is potentially worse than it should be as I am awaiting diagnosis and I could possibly have pancreatic cancer as I did not receive the treatment I should have had until much later. I have refused to see him again, however I would say that I have now been referred to the BRI and they have been really much more helpful and efficient. I was told by the doctor at the BRI that I should not have been allowed to go in so much pain - Mr Hewes was not concerned with this at all.
