• 19 December 2023After spending a week at the Stollery because our Paediatrician let us down, I feel the need to share what happened to prevent this from happening to other people’s little ones.
Our LO was experiencing vomiting, extreme crying and fussiness, shaking, and exhaustion. We went to Dr Slatter who acted like we were over reacting and told us that our LO was “probably constipated” and to go home and give her some laxative (Restorlax). We were super confused and still didn’t feel like she was listening to us but stupidly followed her “educated” advice and did so (even though she was still pooping).
That night we decided that something wasn’t sitting right with the “diagnosis” from her PD and she wasn’t improving so we of course went straight to the Stollery. Long story short, she had Sepis from a UTI…
The Drs at the hospital were confused to why our Paediatrician even suggested constipation and instantly ordered a urine & blood test.
It was a terrifying week and we are so lucky that we didn’t leave it longer because the infection could’ve spread to her brain. I’m so annoyed that someone we were supposed to trust didn’t just take the time to order blood work or a urine test… how lazy! She should’ve immediately ruled this out with her education and took the time to properly analyze her. Instead she downplayed her symptoms and quickly dismissed us.
As harsh as this sounds this nearly cost my child her life. All because of laziness / lack of education!
My poor child suffered at the cost of this and so next time you select a PD/Dr for your child, make sure they’ll go the extra mile for your child’s health and well being.
