I was referred to Prof. Morrison as a public patient by my then GP, Dr. A. Flavin, Roundstone Health Centre. I required a hysterectomy and he denied me an operation and laughed at me and asked "did I realise that is major surgery", that is precisely what was required four years later. When I asked Dr. A. Flavin what he thought of a Gynaecologist at the Galway Clinic he said he could not recommend him because he did not know his work. If a doctor does not know Consultants in the area work, have you ever heard of Cross Border Healthcare Directive. I pay 1,600 subscriptions for Laya Healthcare annually and I would like to know how they would find a Consultant in Spain or France or some other European Country when they do not know the Consultants in Galway? An SHO on Prof. Morrison's team advised me to stay in this country and have the procedure here rather than returning to London (I was home on holiday for a month). When a woman is considered self employed how does she run a home, car, pay a mortgage and many of the other things women happen to do in this country. Prof. Morrison asked me "if I worked outside the home". I don't what home he came from but he certainly did not act in my best interests and I am suing him. He should be struck off, is my opinion given my experience of him. I could not give him a rating. He would not meet with me to discuss the matter, he has avoided my correspondence and he has not signed off on a sick form which I got to him and he would not confirm or deny he had received it on three separate occasions. That is the quality of the "Professionals" in the Gynaecology Department in UCHG I would prefer to have my procedure in London, Spain, France or some other country and charge it back to the HSE. If Ireland can't get basic health care right, who would want to be a citizen? Having worked in the USA and the UK in health care I have never experienced anything like it and hope never to have to be subjected to it again.
