Default I Am Mortified!!!


So, on wednesday last week, my son started crying hysterically, and would not stop.... he wanted to be carried around by mummy, and only mummy.... I could not put him down, or move him in the slightest way... On thursday he threw up (what I thought was the most unbelievable amount of stuff) I got worried, and called NHS direct... They where like, oh he sounds fine, babies cry and it sounds normal. I was like ok then... but felt that something is wrong....

Next day, i went GP, and told them also... ( i could still not put him down) I asked them if i can change his formula as he didnt seem to settle to well... when he cried, it wasnt a baby cyr anymore, but a desperate kind of cry.... like he was trying to tell me something... told them , but was brushed of again, was told that I cannot change the formula without consulting the midwifes ( which did not make any sense, becuase i choose his formula to beginn with)... Saturday, I called the midwifery unit at the hospital, and they told me that "i am the mother, that i am supposed to figure out what is wrong with him" I was like WTF... You are the medical people... I am telling you there is something wrong with my son, I dont know what it is, but something is not right... I asked them if i can change formula, was again told "NO, under no circumstances must I change formula"

Sunday came, my baby got worse... I went pharmacy, they told me that he is colic, gave me colief... I also changed the formula (if I wait for other people we will still be here next year and that) got home, he had the old formula, threw up an even more unbelievable amount twice in a row... I said to shan "thats it, i am taking him A&E and I am not leaving until they have checked him over properly....
they looked at him, took two urin samples, and decided that he has a urine infection.... he got admitted, and I stayed with him for the next two 3 days... let me tell you guys, the doctor that was supposed to be a pediatrician, was a complete plonker...complete waste of space i am sure...
he said that he does not have an infection because he does not have temperature, but that he thinks i am over feeding him.... Even though he thought it was not a urine infection, they still gave him antibiotics on a drip.... Anyway, I told him i am not overfeeding him, but he wouldnt listen to Samir's feeding pattern at all...
I suggested that I write down the feeds for 24 hours, which i did, and of course he is deffinatly not overfed....

the doctor said that he sent the sample of to the lab, and that they would do some tests, but he was determined that they would come back negative.... 36 hours later the test came back, and indeed, he said that it was negative (even thought that the same sample tested positive TWICE two days before that). we where discharged, and the home nurse came to our house yesterday, to give him the last shot of antibiotics....

TODAY, I get a call from the hospital, telling me that the samples came back POSITIVE and we have to go back A&E asap, so that they can take an other urine sample from the bladder itself, and put him on yet more antibiotics. I hit the roof..... how can one Doctor tell me the test is negative, and other doctor sais, no its deffo postive..... WTF.... They are just making it up as they went along.... I told them that its completely hopeless if they dont know what they are doing... I said to my husband, I am getting him checked out properly when I take him to Switzerland in August... I dont care how much it costs, but this care here is discusting... I feel like my son is an experiment to them... no one seems to know what they are talking about, and its just really disappointing....

he is good, thanks. He is such a good baby. He was really content yesterday, until they put the tube up his willie...

I just cnt get over standarts here. I mean the head doctor told me that its the same procedure with every child. That is nt good enough. As u know i am from switzerland, and i know that the standarts are high, and i wouldnt expect that here. Bt common, he is just a baby. Surely they should be more careful and make sure they do the rite thing, and provide the rite care...

How do i make a complaint?

When it comes to my child, I have always trusted my own instincts. Glad he's feeling bit better but what a worry for you. It must have been really confusing to get all that conflicting advice too.
