I've had a couple of days off work as we were originally planning on attending UK Games Expo. Due to various issues we couldn't go — it's probably for the best.
Both yesterday and today I have ended up taking my daughter and Harry to hospital. He has tonsillitis and a fever but keeps going blue and shaking.
The doctor yesterday was fairly useless so, today, we're at a different hospital as we were advised against returning to the same A&E department. Hopefully they'll be a bit more thorough today and not just fob it off as having a temperature.
# He has been referred to paediatrics but that's at the other hospital 🙄
Ugh. Sorry to hear that, Colin. I used to hate when my kids got fevers—and, worse, when doctors/hospitals didn’t deal with stuff well. It’s frequently an uphill battle getting decent care.
Once we got on to the paediatric ward they were pretty good and actually explained stuff rather than fob us off.
That’s good to hear. It can be very hit or miss here—but, to be fair, that’s probably because we have a real shortage of doctors and nurses, so the ones we do have are overworked.
