As promised I said I would keep certain people updated on how I went on with the woman who came to set me because of my eating problem well I've never met anyone in the nhs so rude she spoke to Mt as thou I was a nobody She gave me some food leaflets saying to me you can put them in the bin when I've gone you probably will I was shocked also she basically said she didn't really want to be here at my house that that she had other things to do I was in total shock I would never dream of talking to anybody like she was.speaking to me I so wish I had the confidence to tell.get to get put of my house but Ian to polite for that I told my care coordinator about this woman and she said I can put a complaint in but it's not something I like doing I thought at long last I was going to get some help with my eating problems and now because of this woman I feel as thou Ian back to square one :(

I am so shocked by your post - how absolutely dreadful. It is hard to believe that anyone in the caring profession would behave like that. I do think you should tell someone though - she must be making peoples lives a misery and she is being paid to help. Could you talk to your doctor. How awful for you. The only thing I can think of is to ring the BLF helpline - they might be able to give you some practical advise on what to do now. I am so sorry. Take a deep breath and be glad you don't have to see her again! Take good care of yourself. with much love TAD xx

Flipping heck Pamela, you most certainly did not deserve that sort of treatment - good luck with talking to your nice GP, I am sure she will be shocked too. Chin up, you have our wholehearted support :)

Hi scrobbity thankyou for your comment and thankyou for your support xxx

Be advise by your care coordinator. If you don't want to go initially through PALS. Address correspondence to the Chief Executive at your Hospital.

If you don't say anything about this incident to those who can help you change your experience and get the help you need, you may encounter the same person again.

Even though the person who visited you said she didn't want to be there, I would still read the leaflets she dropped off so you are aware for when the new improved help visits :)

The following links may give you further help and advice:

Good Luck

Oh Pamela I am so sorry you experienced the unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour of this woman. Good luck with the 'phone call with your GP. She defo needs reporting to stop her doing this to someone else. You should also have a visit from a different dietician as that visit was a waste of your time and of no help at all.

Best wishes

Hi Pamela. That wasn't nice. We know there are people in the NHS like them. I would as the others have said. Tell your Dr and see if he can reccommend anyone else. Also as Blakey said read through the leaflets so you can show you are willing. Don't feel too bad about it. Think how many other people got it after you. How many more did she upset. It's not you who has a personality problem. It is her. Now cheer up and let it make you stronger. X

Hi Pamela, well that was knock to your confidence wasn't it?! Nobody needs people like that and she should be told of her rudeness as she is clearly very thick. My Pete is just like you and hates to make a fuss but sometimes it is just necessary to get your point across without nastiness as you are far too nice for that. I do hope you get in touch with others who can and will help and yes, do read the leaflets as that is a step in the right direction.

Wishing you good luck and don't let just one silly person ruin things for you. There are lots of very good, professional people out there who are willing to help and take a pride in their work. Hope you find a good one soon.

Lots of love, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh dear you! This is terrible. Can you not ask your doctor and talk about your experience to him and ask for a second opinion? You need to be advised, not bullied! This was on the NHS. I would at least tell your doctor!

In Canterbury, there's an office with a dietician. when I was in hospital, she prescribed that I should have bacon in the morning. some of the nurses thought I was over the top to have bacon, when others had Cornflakes! but I did receive the bacon! and those yogurthy food supplement. Oh no! This is not on!

helingmic in reply to pamela67

At least, you can prepare yourself. Write a bit what you would like to ask. something like How can I be helped with a diet? What can I do to improve my life style? Can you help me with a programme for doing this, or can you direct me to someone who will. Good luck, snoring fairy!
