You have already managed to find a new great GP, and it was only one consulation that the last one made assumptions and only a week ago. You did the right thing and asked to see another GP, and now it seems like you are happy with the situation? (I once moved GPs and made a 'small complaint' in-house at the surgery, but all it produced was an apology 'on behalf of'.) Although your last GP's behaviour was clearly below standard, particularly in dismissing a (presumably) referral and diagnosis from a hospital consultant, there was ultimately no long-term problem caused by it and I suspect that the weeks difference when seeing this new GP would have made no health difference ?! Other people might feel differently, but I quite honestly wouldn't be bothered with spending time on it. Saying all the above - if this last GP concerns you with regarding to 'what might he do/say' with people less able to advocate for themselves, then you are certainly within your right to have your say. SO - errr - your choice lol
