I saw Mr Connell to discuss some complications post-birth. I was looking forward to the appointment after reading about how kind, considerate and friendly he was. Unfortunately this was not my experience. Mr Connell has a very dry sense of humour and he cracked at least 20 jokes during the appointment. Perhaps he intends to put his patients at ease with these jokes, however this had the opposite effect on me. I found it uncomfortable joking about a condition that has been very stressful for me. But more importantly, I didn’t receive a clear explanation from Mr Connell and I left the appointment feeling confused and bewildered, rather than reassured. Dissatisfied with my experience, I decided to get a second opinion and finally received the clarity and empathy that I was hoping Mr Connell would provide. Instead of trying to prove he’s a comedian, I think Mr Connell should focus on providing professional and empathetic care for this patients.
