Professor Sawcer did not properly listen to my symptoms and clearly decided upon the diagnosis early on in the consultation. He stated "I am sure you have [diagnosis]". I told him I do not believe this to be the case. After this, he had no more time to spend with me.
I think that diagnostic uncertainty requires a certain degree of humility which unfortunately Professor Sawcer could not demonstrate.
My GP recognised Professor Sawcer's diagnosis as incorrect immediately.
I was soon given the correct diagnosis and treatment by a sub-specialty neurologist in London.
