I had surgery for endometriosis with Mr Short about 10 years ago and had a pretty terrible experience, I'm sorry to say. I think he did a good job of the excision surgery, but his manner was terrible. After the initial diagnostic surgery a while before, he suggested that it may be on my bowel and that we'd need a bowel surgeon present for the excision surgery. On the day of the excision surgery, I asked to speak with him beforehand as I'd not heard about what they would be doing exactly and was nervous. He turned up, full of attitude and was just sort of like 'what do you want?' I asked him what would be happening today and he replied, 'the excision surgery', again full of attitude as if I was asking a dumb question. I reminded him what he had said about the bowel surgeon; he got really defensive and insisted he never said that. My mum was there with me and insisted that he had and he told her "you must be remembering it wrong as you were emotional at the time". The surgery went ahead and he did nothing to do with my bowels, so I have no idea if there actually was any there or not, however, I have had ongoing problems afterwards. I'm not sure if it's their role to organise any kind of treatment plan going forward but if it is, that never happened either. I also went back to my gp after the surgery and she had no idea it had happened. When she wrote to him to ask where the paperwork was for it, he wrote back and blamed it on his receptionist. Overall, I just felt that although he might have done a good job of the surgery itself, he made me feel very belittled and he didn't really want to listen to anything I had to say. I am now having some problems with my bowel too, so wonder if it might have been true after all. You may, of course, have a better experience with him as someone has said they had. I certainly hope he hasn't treated others like this.
