I accompanied my daughter last Saturday, (8th of November), to Emerson Green hospital, Practice Plus. I am not a fan of private medicine, but understand that the NHS has to farm out patients, to bring down the waiting lists. Also I was interested to see if paying for your health care was worthwhile. Oh dear, if I had to pay for that experience, I would be ever so disappointed. We believed that the appointment had been made to introduce the new consultant gynecologist. He demanded to know what my daughter wanted, and why she should benefit from his largesse. She explained her story and journey to him, and it was all deemed irrelevant. Mr. Whittaker explained that he was refusing the operation, because he could, and he had done thousands of hysterectomys, and was the highest consultant that we had ever met. Also, why should she have the operation just because she wanted it? Then He threw in a bit of fat shaming, apparently his hospital does not 'do' fat. Then followed up that logic by declaring that if he did do it, all the women of Bristol would want one too. If I lived in the city, I would not presume to know what the women living there would want. But I could hazard a guess, that what they would not want, is a misogynist wielding a scalpel. I did not want my daughter to have an operation, if there are other alternatives. So I am happy with the outcome, and delighted that we will not have to return. I suggest that taking along a male companion, may prevent the bullying. I have given two stars, as the hospital is conveniently situated on the outskirts of the city, with ample parking. It seems clean, the facilities are adequate and the receptionists are perfectly pleasant. However, I cannot recommend this place, as I don't dislike anybody enough to do so.
