Absolutely disgusted with this hospital.

Absolutely disgusted with this hospital.
Seen very quickly and sorted very quickly upon arrival, however no-one spoke much English and no-one cared to do more than tell me I was breathless because I m so stressed . I was given medication in the waiting room, the objective of the medication mumbled at me, which led to a panic attack and severe depression feelings. Don t bother with the mediation service either. The doctor I spoke to was very short and insisted that all was my fault for not querying the medication, and for being unable to communicate after being given a relaxant tablet which pushed me close to suicide. I now get to pay for this privilege. If you re referred by a GP, go elsewhere - this hospital is awful.

In short, the doctors will assume you re stressed, allergies to them are a myth, and only go if you speak French because despite having a fluent-English supervisor there, no-one will even try to help you. You ll be sent to a psychiatric team who ll tell you you have anxiety and you re stressed and that you need help, and who won t take no for an answer.

NB: I stayed away from parks and things like that and after about two weeks I was back to normal, especially after a rainy spell. I still have an horrendous cough though, probably would have been fine with a strong antihistamine but obviously speaking to a condescending psychiatrist is the new antihistamine.
