Vermaat - Diakonessenhuis Utrecht

Very good care at the gyno department here! Two gastroenterologist both Suzanne. Ruined my life. I sought care for severe, unexplained weight loss, intermittent rapid stomach emptying with mild gnawing but intense hunger, blood sugar swings, dehydration, and malnutrition. I lost 13 kg and sometimes had to eat every two hours to function. Despite these clear red flags, my symptoms were dismissed, undiscussed, described un-feelable, untrue or something they don't investigate. Instead of recognising gastitis. I was GASLIT & NEGLECTED rather than medically supported, treated, educated, questioned, guided, taken seriously and heard. I later learnt, too late, there were very simple and safe options to recover. While they said "there was nothing they can do" got worse due to a dietician advice. Mild gastropathy, neglected gastritis + bile reflux = was all. If nervous system dysregulation, in my case from bile reflux, was suspected, it should have been clearly explained, educated and discussed, as it is a recognized and treatable condition. My body was always almost healed and fully healable. I don't understand TCA and carafate was not something they offered immediately. Safe. Help that didn't need anything other than a few words and a single appointment with education and recognition. The clinician concluded pi-IBS without telling me or sharing any knowledge. Weird. I never felt sick, I said: "There is only something wrong with my stomach, gut feels 'normal' the problem is higher up" Left undiscussed. Discovered faulty diagnosis in my online medical file myself, which contained multiple inaccuracies: my weight loss minimized, symptoms were mischaracterized as bowel-related pain (which I explicitly denied), was given no opportunity to discuss or correct these conclusions during the appointments. No meaningful guidance, neural influence, protective treatment or physical support was discussed, even as my weight loss and dehydration worsened. MY ACTUAL SYMPTOMS NEVER EVEN REACHED MY FILE. While diagnostic investigations appeared necessary to receive any kind of care, as they DIDN'T OFFER SYMTPOM RELATED KNOWLEDGE in conversation as I had expected. They forced me in requesting investigations, wich caused me to be perceived as someone asking for excessive care or reassurance rather than as a patient seeking clarity and support. It was awful to be pushed into the corners like that. FOR NOTHING. Pure evil. Gastroscopy later, didn't make any biopsies and it became useless for gastropathy. I later learned that mild bile reflux can present primarily as severe hunger relieved by eating, MY MOST PROMINENT SYMPTOM, multiple physicians didn't recognise, BUT OTHER DOCTORS DO. I read patients heal. Earlier recognition would have provided clarity and prevented deterioration. My condition progressed, because the lack of proper knowledge and care, resulting in lasting physical and neural harm that continues to worsen, this was again, dismissed. Which made every appointment useless. Instead of appropriate medical evaluation or discussion of relevant treatment options, hypnotherapy was suggested, without explanation what this is or accompanying medical support (TCA). Overall, these appointments resulted in UNDISCLOSED and INACCURATE conclusions, lack of conversation and explanation, symptom recognition and guidance, disbelief, arguing about "who is right," neglect of physical state, psychological stress, GASLIGHTING, permanent inaccuracies in my medical record. I continue to feel dismissed, humiliated, traumatised and unnecessarily severely damaged years later. I lost most of my strong, happy & healthy life and future bc of their mistakes, including my job. It was cruel and difficult to receive usefull help in conversation, they made me feel terrible while I was feeling resilient and able to heal. They left me speechless, frustrated, confused, neglected, worried and judged for nothing. What was described brutally as “expected,” I know was very preventable with simple knowledge and education. One word was enough: "gastritis"

Zeer klant onvriendelijk ziekenhuis, na een doorverwijzing wordt eerst een datum/tijd voor een afspraak toegezegd en vervolgens wordt je later terug gebeld dat het niet door kan gaan en wordt je van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd in onzekerheid achterblijvend. De Empathie is ver te zoeken..

Vandaag (22 juni 2026) moest ik op controle naar het Diakonessenhuis. Op de parkeerplaats stond een golfkarretje met een aardige vrijwilliger die aanbood mij naar de ingang te brengen. Hij pakte de rollator op en zette hem achterop het karretje. En zo reden we naar de ingang. Wat een mooi begin van de dag. Hulde aan de vrijwilligers die dit belangeloos doen en ook tijdens de hitte, de bezoekers af en aan brengen🌞😎

Je word van kastje naar de muur gestuurd en niemand wilt je helpen.

Afgelopen jaar is mijn echtgenote gedurende ca 6 maanden behandeld op onder andere de afdeling oncologie voor operatie, chemo kuren etc. Met meerdere mensen: artsen, verpleegkundigen, apotheek, vrijwilligers etc te maken gehad. Wij hebben ieder contact als zeer plezierig ervaren. Geen enkele wanklank is op z’n plaatst. Iedereen even liefdevol en professioneel met ons omgegaan. Echt grote klasse en onze dankbaarheid is groot. Ook op de afdeling waar de chemo therapie gegeven wordt (“route 55”) was een prettige sfeer ondanks de vervelende reden van het verblijf. Er was zeker ruimte voor vrolijkheid daar. Geen bedompen sfeer. Dat alles maakt het allemaal wat lichter. Mede namens mijn echtgenote nogmaals hartelijke dank lieve mensen🥰. Gerard Sluijk juni 2026
