Where do I begin I'm battling terminal cancer and have received absolutely no proper monitoring They recklessly removed my long-term antidepressants, which led me to have disturbing thoughts about harming my dog and myself... I immediately filed a complaint with the medical board. David Royal should have been completely struck off for such irresponsible actions. I explicitly warned him about the dangers of stopping these medications abruptly, and he dismissively claimed switching medications would be fine - when I should have been gradually tapered off. The plan was to have an implant injected into my abdomen every three months, but I ultimately had to perform the procedure myself due to their complete lack of follow-up care. More recently, I discovered my cancer has metastasized to my liver - a fact the doctor concealed from me for two years... I reported this negligence to the medical board again. During a recent appointment for respiratory issues, the doctor refused to prescribe antibiotics. A week later, my condition worsened - as if the medication would cost them personally. Throughout my experience, I've encountered nothing but systematic negligence. I have zero trust in these healthcare providers. They claim to have a duty of care to patients, but I feel utterly insignificant. The Hippocratic Oath? Absolute nonsense! Their service is pathetic, and the entire system needs a serious overhaul. Years ago, doctors commanded respect. Now, patients must be their own advocates. You must be assertive during appointments - never let them patronize or steamroll you. Enter consultations prepared and confident. The old belief that "doctor knows best" is obsolete. They're not infallible specialists, but practitioners operating on generalized assumptions. Don't hesitate to challenge and interrupt if you feel dismissed. They despise being questioned, believing themselves superior to patients. NEWSFLASH: THEY ARE NOT. Good luck navigating this broken system.
