It was A&E where I went, but the Dr there was adamant it was gynaecological. HE asked lots of questions about whether I had kids and how old - he was a bit taken aback when I informed him that my kids were 10 and 7.

He was also very patronizing in his manner and because I was in so much pain it was difficult to think straight and ask all the questions I wanted to.

I've gone through childbirth - drug and painkiller free, I can take pain, and listen to it when it is unbearable, this doctor made me feel like some weak little woman.

Like I stated before, when he wouldn't stop pressing into my stomach, my first reaction was to scream and bite his hand.

What could I have done differently?

I am tempted to get a second opinion, but unless I become very, very ill, I can't go back to A&E and I don't want to feel this ill over the weekend until the GP opens again.
