I was treated by a dentist here, who removed a wisdom tooth, and he treated me with a mixture of condescension, antagonism and contempt. I won't detail specifics of his behaviour, as no part of the interaction was positive, aside to say that I, the patient, had to pause the procedure, following the local anesthetic, with a pliers in my mouth, to ask him to clarify what he wanted me to functionally do as he barked (and no other word will do) that I "relax my tongue". He continued to bark this at me, after this.
I came to the clinic in pain and in a vulnerable state; had I any other option, I would have left after the assessment, given it was clear that his manner was what it was. The dental nurse who was accompanying him was lovely, obviously embarrassed and tried to ameliorate the atmosphere he created but he also spoke to her contemptuously as she assisted.
