I was treated for duptyens contracture yesterday in the Rockingham Ward.The staff in the ward and operating theatre were all considerate, caring and professional explaining everything very clearly. Nothing but praise for everyone there

I visited the pain management clinic today and wasn’t expecting much really but the doctor made me feel like my issues were unworthy of his time. My pain might not have been as bad as some but his diagnosis was “get another job” I already struggle at work and have been looking for a while because the constant pain is a nightmare but he made me feel like I was wasting his time and just kept saying you’ll have to get another job, as an after thought he told me I could try steroid injections if “ I ‘“ wanted but that was it, I’m quite pain tolerant but this constant pain is relentless and getting me down and after he shrugged me off I left the building and cried I felt so low and let down with his attention. I didn’t even ask to go there my doctor referred me because he thought I warranted it I never want to go back there I will just go back to the constant pill popping to ease the pain
