On one of the numerous occasions I've been taken in with my heart arrhythmia I asked the doctor why I hadn't been given the same medication as on the previous admission two days earlier. He just shut me up with "there's a good boy".

On another occasion a sports doctor sat smirking at the nurse stood behind my chair as I was talking to him.

They think I have a needle phobia, so I take it as read that I'll be talked to like a five year old child whenever someone appears with a cannula.

Bear in mind that if you complain it will make them vindictive.

I am so angry I could spit. I had an appt this morning at a fairly local hospital to see a consultant re ongoing bowel problems. He burst into the room where I was waiting, I dropped my bag because he startled me, I apologised (why?), he asked me why I apologised, I stammered and stuttered and went very red. He didn't introduce himself, and in the course of the consultation called me sweetie, darling and poppet. I'm not having it. There WILL be an official complaint. For heaven's sake, I'm a grown woman, not a baby. SO ANGRY!
