A little context; my 3 year old was put on antibiotics on the 22/01 for strep, on the 24/01 she became extremely lethargic, rapid hr, breathing sucking in.
As it was the weekend I phoned the out of hours service, when I received a callback and explained to the GP, his response was less than empathetic, stating that I'd only given her antibiotic 2 days to work so she wasn't going to be okay yet, to give it 4-5 days and then see how she is.
When I mentioned her breathing and the fact she was struggling and sucking in under her ribs (red flag) his response was "oh, her breathing" in a condescending tone.
He made me feel like I was wasting his time and being over cautious.
I thanked him for the call and told him I was taking my daughter to a&e.
Thankfully I did as her oxygen while awake was 88% and dropped to 80% while sleeping.
She was admitted from the 24/01 – 28/01 with a secondary infection causing lung inflammation and was told it could have been a lot worse if I never brought her to hospital.
How do I put a complaint in properly? As if I never listened my daughter might not be here and there could be another parent who listens to this 'doctor' in future and it ends up as worst case scenario.
TLDR: 3 year old had strep, took secondary infection, oohgp said she was fine, went hospital, she was not fine and could have died.
