Visited this doctor for an medical assessment for a fire and rescue job, and had smart comments to me for no reason and trying to claim that I cheated the hearing test, telling me why do I have tattoos. Horrible doctor.

I attended Dr Harden back in 1999, as a cardiac patient with a history of Heart Failure, employed by Centrelink as he was a government Medical Officer. I complained that I was feeling unwell at work and wanted to retire on medical grounds. When I attended Dr Harden I had a blood pressure reading of 180/115 which anyone know is close to a medical emergency. However, Dr Harden said nothing about the high readings, and sent Centrelink a report stating there was NO REASON why I shouldn't be at work. Later tests, after I was forced to leave Centrelink as an INEFFICIENT member of staff, showed I had an illness called Primary Aldosteronism (Conn's Syndrome) which was pushing my blood pressure up out of control. When I questioned Dr Harden about his report, he said, " I can't always make decisions in the best interest of the patients I see (on behalf of the government)" This was so wrong and I'm sure something akin to lying about a patient.
