Doctor accused dd of telling lies despite evidence to the contrary.

Bit of background. We don't drink and dd 18 was with me the whole day.

About 11.30 this evening it was so hot ds said he fancied a cold fizzy drink. So did I. DD said she was going to have a shower and go to bed.

Ds and I nipped to the local garage to buy a drink leaving dd at home.

We had just driven in to the drive when I had a call from dd. She had slipped getting out of the shower and had woken up on the floor.

Very sore lump on her head , her vision was blurred and a cracking headache.

2 hours in A&E and the diagnosis is she has a hangover. The doctor refused to believe that dd didn't drink and was making up the incidence in the shower because in her mind apparently dd as soon as we left necked bottles of alcohol, no idea where said alcohol came from as there is none in the house and now has a hangover.

Oh and dd grazed her hand when she was out on Saturday. So dd is also bulimic.

So now I am left monitoring dd over night because the NHS doctor would rather make up stuff than do her job

Well some doctors are a bit thick.

I had bad food poisoning about a year ago and then had persistent problems with stomach pain and nausea for some time afterwards, making it hard to eat. (In the end tests showed I still had E. coli in my system quite a long time after). A random GP I saw asked me if I had anorexia.

I’m very tall, I’m slim, that’s all it takes.

How is your dd?
I would definitely complain via PALS. That treatment is out of order.

I know A+E docs have a LOT to deal with but refusing to accept details, leading to mistreatment is unacceptable.

She is doing ok.

Back at work

Headache finally subsided
