Am 6 weeks pregnant, have only been pregnant once before and miscarried about this time so when I went to have my first appointment with a new GP (have just moved house and area so was just randomly assigned somebody) was really really angry and fed up to just have her throw a load of papers at me and shove me back out the door again.
When I booked the appointment the receptionist told me it would be half and hour and was anticipating a nice long chat and check up going through all the details like I had with the nurse at my old clinic for my pre-conception appointment. Instead the appointment was literally five minutes and the only test she did was to check my blood pressure. She fired a load of questions at me waited until I said whatever word it was she was looking for in the answer and then started talking over me. Didn't even get a chance to tell her about previous pregnancy as was booted out the door so quickly. She also left the door open for most of the consultation and demanded to know which hospital I want to be booked into when at 6 wks I obviously haven't had a chance to go and look yet or even decide if I want to have this baby in hospital. Generally she came off as rude and totally uncaring which is the total opposite of what you want from a doctor.
I left in a total daze and it was only once I'd got back to my house that I realised how angry I was about it. I'm the first of my friends to have kids and am feeling quite lost and nervous about it especially with my medical history without being fobbed off because she couldn't be bothered to talk properly to me.
I'm going to try and get myself moved into the midwife service so I don't have to deal with her (would rather deal with the midwives anyway) but AIBU to also want to complain about her?
