Horrible hospital visit!

[Nikita-powell]

Had an absolute nightmare today. No one seems to want to help me at my hospital, any one else felt like this? It wasn't until I burst into tears that then they offered to try something else. Just about had enough! Has anyone on here gone private? I seem to think if I pay then maybe they'll sort something out Rubbish Monday for me!

Hi Nimita, I did it privately but because I have medical insurance where I work (I couldn't afford it otherwise). Send me a private message if you want more info.

Regards.

Hi Nikita, I am so sorry you have had this experience. I did when I lived in the UK so went private, private GP was amazing but she referred me to a complete insensitive ...... This was before I was diagnosed with Endo and he told me it was just a hormone imbalance and I was young but not that young and should consider Uterine ablation as it was 'just a hormone imbalance'. We all have our bad days and I found out after that he was having some personal problems himself so lashing out at patients was his solution. Thankfully I now live in Switzerland and was diagnosed here privately and my treatment has been much better. Private or NHS I think it is the luck of the draw, but if you are not happy with your treatment then definitely I would search for another specialist. Good luck and big hugs! I hope you find the support you need soon.

Finally, Endometriosis UK run support groups where you can talk with others in your situation, there are online support groups if you prefer not to attend a face-to-face meeting or where there is not a support group in your area and there is also a freephone confidential helpline (Tel.: [phone]), all run by volunteers touched by Endometriosis themselves:

I wish you well.

Good luck!

Take care.
