La peor experiencia y trato que he recibido en mi vida por un facultativo con diferencia. Falta de empatía, mala educación y mucha soberbia. Tan sólo por pedir información sobre un proceso de fecundación in vitro con el que tuve problemas de diversa índole haciendo evidente errores de varios profesionales durante todo el proceso. Dejé ahorros de años y sufrí el complicado proceso del tratamiento y como colofón me llevé el trato humillante, despectivo y poco profesional de esta doctora que olvidó por completo en qué consiste el código deontológico. Fue humillante. Se llegó a disculpar pero el daño ya lo habia hecho. Muy poca humanidad.
La doctora casi no tuvo tiempo de contestar a mis preguntas. Fue una visita super rapida, y ella estuvo muy cortante. Fui porque tenia dolor y estaba un poco preocupada, y ella casi no me explico el motivo de mis sintomas, se limito a decir que todo parecia normal y me echo de la consulta. Casi roza la mala educación.
