Doctor tried to cancel appointment without examining baby

I felt I received minimal attention and care during my visit. The clinician appeared reluctant to engage with patients and gave the impression of wanting to be elsewhere. I had been encouraged to attend by a healthcare professional following concerns about my newborn's skin condition, which had deteriorated significantly. An hour before the appointment, I received a call suggesting the visit could be postponed until a later scheduled check-up, but I felt this was inappropriate given my child's discomfort and infection risk. During the consultation, after a very brief examination, I was directed to attend the emergency department at the hospital. The outcome was a prescription that could have been issued during the initial appointment. As I was the final patient of the day, the clinician's body language and actions made it clear they were eager to leave, with visible signs of preparing to depart before I had even finished gathering my things. I was disappointed by the standard of care provided to both myself and my child, and I have decided to register with a different practice.
