I posted this on another thread but I think it deserves it's own thread. DS was very poorly last night with breathing difficulties and was in A&E. During Triage the nurse very aggressively demanded to know why he hadn't had the MMR. DP explained that DS:
- Is is severely allergic to egg
- has had full blown measles (confirmed) at age two.
Nurse then announces that he could get measles again to which DP said 'well if that is the case then he could get measles after a jab'. She then proceeded to ask DP if DS had a social worker. Make of that what you will but in all the times I have been to A&E (lots) I have never been asked that question.
Your thoughts please. DP is black so there may be an element of racial stereotyping going on.
