Hi my husband wen to see a Dr Rai about his pain he’s in he was very rude to him didn’t read about any of his history about his situation and symptoms and took him off his pain killer longtec oxycodone and said I only give cancer patients this drug and asked him if he could send him for a bone density test and said you have only got back abit of pain in your back didn’t read any of his history’s on his medical files and he has severe arthritis in his bones in his back hips and knee I am very upset he didn’t read anything on his records so I will not be staying at this doctors as I’m very upset about the whole situation with this doctors as it was the first time I’ve visited this doctors as a face to face consultation never again need to give patients more respect and treat them like a human being.

The doctor could have treated me with respect and not been rude and aggressive towards me need to get some respect towards his patients .

I have raised a serious concern with the health centre via the doctor I saw and the practice manager and am awaiting information about changes in their procedures but feel it is important patients at the centre are made aware of the present situation which I feel is a basic and serious problem that need to act upon quickly. As a patient with a rare and serious condition I was recently prescribed drugs I could have been allergic to and could have put me in a coma. The doctor I saw did not check to see which drugs I could take and could not have read my notes thoroughly. It appears their system does not flash up patients vital information e.g. serious conditions or allergies which I would have thought was an obvious and basic requirement particularly in light of the fact that that you hardly ever see your designated doctor so they are unlikely to know your medical details without having it presented to them. Another concern was that they did not have an up to date list of the drugs I can take on record. I am making a formal complaint and would expect their procedures to be internally reviewed and changes made quickly.

Had a 'well man' check a couple of weeks ago but wasn't sure whether it incorporated a prostate blood test. Spoke with receptionist yesterday & she suggested a GP call back. Just received this & was shocked by the GP negative attitude towards me when I enquired about Prostate testing. I have MS & worried that my symptoms may mask the symptoms of a problematic Prostate. She was force ably stating that they do not do these tests routinely & it was something I couldn't request! I re-stated my concerns & she even said that men with Prostate Cancer could live as long as men who were Cancer free! I was made to feel that I was an irritant. I said that because of my MS symptoms & at my age (56) that maybe it would be wise to have a check. Eventually, she begrudgingly agreed to book me in for an examination with a male GP but I hope that your experiences are easier & better than mine.

If you want to be patronised by a trainee GP, misdiagnosed by GPs who make assumptions about you and can't interpret a simple ECG, and if you want reception staff who make the whole experience unpleasant then this is the place for you. Only the nurses are worth seeing here. It shouldn't be down to the patient to check whether they still need to be on medication 12 months after it being prescribed; it shouldn't be down to the patient to recommend a blood test to check if anything has changed (improved?); it shouldn't be down to the patient to point out that it is not a good idea to be on medication unnecessarily. Patronised? How about being told (when I could barely walk into the surgery) to put a bag of frozen peas on my knee "for the length of an episode of Coronation Street". What?!? The NHS is recommending that you self-diagnose and self-treat these days... that has to be a better option than going here! Believe me, ageism is alive and well at Ruddington Medical Centre!!

Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at QMC by rheumatologist, went to see Dr Schofield for help with pain but she was dismissive and treated me like I was an idiot.
