I had an appointment recently at Karratha Hospital Outpatients with a particular clinician.
I found them to be very disrespectful and unprofessional. After the internal examination and swab was taken, the clinician proceeded to tell me the pain I am experiencing on a daily occurrence is all in my head. They then told me I am obese. My self-esteem is in question as I have been trying to fall pregnant for quite some time now. I do suffer from endometriosis and have previously had 2 procedures already to assist me falling pregnant.
I felt very hurt and my emotional state was so bad that I couldn't drive and had to be assisted by my mother who had to be dropped off at the hospital to drive me home. I cried so much. I just feel the clinician really lacks a bedside manner and very evidently, in my opinion, has no peoples decorum or manners.
I believe the clinician was very unruly at answering my questions and has left me still with no idea as to what my medical problem or condition is. Therefore I have no alternative but to seek a second opinion. I strongly feel that this clinician should apologise to me or somebody should. I trust this matter will be dealt with accordingly.
