  Went to her 3 years ago with extreme fatigue. I was 19 at the time. She told me that it was due to being overweight and inactive. I told her that whilst I understood an active lifestyle increase energy, I was inactive BECAUSE I was fatigued. I asked if we could run tests to see if there was anything else going on. Even a simple iron test would be a good start. She refused, and said that her sons who are my age run marathons, and I should as well. Since then, I have discovered I struggle with low iron, and recurve iron infusions. This has helped somewhat. However recently I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which compromises my body from absorbing iron. I also was diagnosed with hashimotos, preventing my thyroid to function, equating to fatigue. I don't blame Rutherford for not diagnosing my condition earlier... as it's been a long process in finding answers to my symptoms. BUT I do blame her for not listening to me and for speaking to be in such a condescending and judgmental manner. As a 19yr old girl, she truly knocked my confidence, and preventing me from seeking further medical advice sooner. I don't expect my GP to have all the answers, but I expect them to listen to me, and not judge me. If you are wanting a GP that actually WANTS to help you and is willing to hear you out, I don't reccomend Rutherford. Simple as that.
