Horrendous, accused of lying by a consultant

"Horrendous, accused of lying by a consultant"

About: Springfield University Hospital (London)

Truly horrendous experience. I am a professional who becomes very well between episodes. Accused of "acting" to achieve a label of bipolar. I don't want any label and that diagnosis has a bigger impact (DVLA etc job entries) Really upsetting and I am still recovering. I made a complaint, the consultant denied everything of course. The trust apologised, but the consultant did not. That experience haunts me.
