Should I complain... or just leave it?
Very long story short. My son was very sick. We called out an ambulance at work on the Monday who advised him to go home, rest and take painkillers.
Second paramedics were called on the Tuesday as my son was getting no better. I don't drive we live in the middle of nowhere where and he couldn't drive himself as he was so unwell I did what any decent parent should do and tried to get him urgent medical assistance. When I say 3 women who were like the witches of eastwick turned up and basically dismissed him even though he was crying in pain and told them he couldn't move his neck, they told him his vitals were fine and to just take paracetamol!!
On the Wednesday morning at 3am my son was now hallucinating, couldn't open his eyes due to photophobia, couldn't eat/drink, vomiting his lungs up, I called 999 again and they told me it would be 10 hours. My son is sat there in his room rocking back and forth because of the pain... Thank goodness they came within 3 hours and they finally took him in.
Basically after lots of testing bloods, MRI, CT and Lumber puncture he was diagnosed with Meningitis. If he was left any longer the outcome would be VERY different.
Should I make a complaint against the ambulance paramedics that dismissed my child??....
