Doctors treat you differently when things go wrong

A few years a ago I had a misdiagnosis of something serious and ended up needing lots of surgeries to save my life...after it became clear (all along they kept saying 'you seem young a healthy' and dismissing me as 'anxiety' when I in fact had sepsis due to neglect / failing to investigate further) they have gone all odd and quiet and won't discuss it with me.

I tried gently asking for an explanation, after such follow up, via PALs. But they tried contacting the consultants and asking them and they had no reply. AIBU or if things go wrong, it seems to me they 'close ranks' and don't discuss it.

It's hard because an explanation, and looking at ways to stop this sort of thing happening again, would do much to help me get over what happened.

Thank you. I'll have a look at that.

I hope the consultants looking at your case proves helpful for you.

Yes it will be interesting to see if they write a dismissive response or not. We'll see. All the best to you.

This is why i much rather live abroad and pay for private healthcare than live in the Uk and have free healthcare where the government think that they control you because the healthcare is for free. They take advantage.

England is becoming a state where you no longer control anything, your children, your health. It is ridiculous.
