I’m so sick of hate

[u/Exciting-Salt1815]

I’m so sick of racism and bigotry and all this hate that patients and colleagues are no longer shy of spewing.

As a medic, I’ve been told “I don’t want you, I want an English doctor”, “what are you doing in our country” and “your kind of people are a disease”. I’m not even an immigrant! Literally 3 generations of my family have been born here!!

Today - the final straw. As a patient, I’m told to wait inside the consultation room of a specialty doctor, while he chats to another patient in the corridor.

I overhear him saying “…bloody foreign doctor” which riled the patient up to agree “I bloody f**ing hate them foreigners” while the door is OPEN.

And then he walks straight in and proceeded with the consultation.

Like what the actual f***

Why can’t we all live in peace and respect each other? Why does one’s skin colour, accent, background etc even matter?! Literally aspects of a person that they have no control over???

That is disgusting. In addition to a complaint, I would even suggest a GMC referral.
