Sorry to hear that, Mr C, I have had similar experiences, and opposite ones too. If I could choose where to go and see the gastroent specialist, I would go back to Halifax everytime. The specialist there treated me as human being, took interest in me and my condition and was, generally, a nice bloke. At the Friarage I feel like just another number, get through the appt as quick as possible, pile more medication on me and tell me to go home. No interest in reviewing my notes BEFORE the consultation (I had to give him an overview and I suspec the first time he opened my notes was when I was sat there going over the past 15 years with him). He even managed to get the dosage of one of the medications wrong when I was speaking to him, luckily the pharmacy tech picked up on it and queried it. He, during the consult, said I would need to start on 15mg for 4 weeks, then increase it to 20mg. He also said he would write to my GP to outline the same. He did write to my GP, but only to say I was on 15mg, nothing about increasing it, so when I went to see said GP about a repeat script and increasing the dose, he wouldn't do it! Obviously I fully understand that but it annoys me that one thing was said in the consult and another actually done.
I have it all to repeat shortly with a repeat visit to ENT to get a different hearing aid (I have broken 5 in 7 years, all the same way, through water ingress)
