I recently had a private assessment conducted with the ADHD Centre in Manchester, and it was pretty shocking. The Dr kept yawning and closing his eyes, and at one point he actually dozed off mid assessment. I got a positive diagnosis and am currently being processed to get started on meds, but seeing as that cost me £500, do I complain? Im worried they'll see the diagnosis as invalid and make me do it all again which I cant afford to time wise as I'm in the middle of my dissertation at uni!
Note: I had gone in with more info than most, support letters from directors at uni, learning support letters and also a very high scoring browns test that the uni carried out.

Ever been able to determine an outcome quite quickly but were obliged to go through the motions?
Ever spent so much time helping others you didn't quite get enough sleep?

Let's say you complain.
You hear nothing back and forget all about it. As the months roll by, your cognitive and emotional prowess reaches new heights due to the tablets the 'lazy, inattentive, doctor' prescribed for you.
Meanwhile, someone who didn't like that doctor noticed your complaint and instead of binning it immediately, like always, they smurked and cleared their agenda.
One morning, you're casually walking to uni when your friend loses her footing on the pavement. At that exact moment, an undiagnosed ADHDer (who WAS on the waiting list until the doctor you complained about got sacked) drives past at 70 (in a 30) because she's late getting her son to school. Again.
Your friend recovers after several months in hospital but the son of the lady driving the car, trying to do her best with zero help, was not wearing a seatbelt.
Several years pass and you've just about managed to convince yourself that none of it was your fault but you still feel yourself well up every time you see someone yawn...
