Mummy might be going crazy! J's hospital visit
Last night I ended up with J at the ED because he was having another one of his coughing nearly being sick episodes and I said to A can't do this anymore he needs help.
So round to my mum's to get her to come to.
Off we set (around 30 mins to hospital)in the car J is coughing spluttering and screaming. We get tot he hospital and he is happy as. GRRR isn't it always the way.
So we waited bout an hour to see the dr. It is a little asian lady who looked rather bored and pretty clueless.Couldn't find a cord to get his obs went to 3 different rooms to get a thing to look in his ears went back to the bed saw another 3 people the first lady comes back after speaking to my supervisor we've decided to send you home keep up fluids and give panadol every 4 hours. I nearly fell off the bed I replied trying to hold back the tears "he isn't eating he isn't drinking much if he is it is water or warm milk what more can I do because we went through this last winter and I have done everything. The dr was looking scared like a deer in a spotlight. But I was so angry did she not listen to me at all. I had told her this I had told triage nurse this and still no one was listening. Next thing I know a lovely young asian dr come in who checked J out. Listened to his chest for awhile and then handed the ear piece of the steth to his co worker who was looking puzzled. He asked how far away we lived and we said 30 mins or so. He replied ok go home if it happens again give him 3 puffs every 10mins and bring him straight back.
FINALLY someone in there listened.
I have decided next time I will go straight to the children's or monash as it was a joke. for an ED they were pretty chilled and not caring. Very scary.
I just wish they would make a nationwide database for all records so i am not having to repeat myself about everything multiple times. My poor bubby is so used to steth's and ear probes and thermometers it is not normal. :(
I JUST WANT MY BABY WELL IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK.
