“Almost every member of staff I have ever interacted with in the surgery is amazing. We’ll always tell everyone how lucky we are to live next to such amazing doctors.In particular the doctor that we have seen from the beginning of my wive’s HG has been amazing. From following and fundraising for Pregnancy sickness support I have learned a lot of stories of peoples experiences with this illness. We were very fortunate to have such an incredible doctor from the beginning. She had such a positive effect on our lives whilst going through this.,I do have some feedback for just one individual. A midwife who I think was Australian. Back in one of our earlier midwife appointments whilst wife was suffering from HG my wife was asked how she was doing mentally. She responded that she was fine but that I was struggling. She told “he doesn’t matter right now”. I carried on plugging away, coming home taking care of her and the house, doing a surprising amount of pharmacy tours to find the one who had the right medication in stock and watching my wife unable to even watch tv due to her illness. All the while I didn’t feel I could be anxious about it so just stufffed it down because “I’m not important right now”Eventually it did get too much and I started having daily panic attacks. Firstly in private and then very public ones in supermarkets a then in the middle of a meeting at work in front of all my colleagues.I believe that this midwife holds some responsibility for the deterioration of my mental health and I just wanted to pass on the feedback in hope that it could inform her future practice with fathers.All the other midwives we had have been amazing. Eventually when I broke down in tears in another appointment with another midwife that I was having panic attacks and was worried that me being having these around my wife could be stressful for her. She told me that my mental health does matter.”
“Really grateful for the swift call back from one of the G.P.s regarding much needed medication. The Doctor was extremely understanding and helpful. Since 2019 Bank Street have provided excellent healthcare and referrals.”
