Ok, so Im sat here on mumsnet and my poor ds (3) is finally dozing. Hes been sick since Friday, hes not sleeping eating. Coughing, Has a bleeding nose, mouth is covered in spots and has sores all over his face and his eyes are leaking gunk! I took him to the docs on Monday and she said it was a virus and to 'get over it' on his own. Its now Wednesday and this morning he seemed a little better when he got up. But since about 11am he has been inconsoleable just crying and crying. So I rang the docs again and explained. She said 'why didn't you call this morning when we had loads of spaces' and I said well he didn't seem so bad this morning but hes taken a turn for the worst this afternoon and she tutted and said that they don't normally handle emergencies in the afternoon and she didn't know if she could fit me in.
I know that you are supposed to phone for emergencies in the morning...but he wasn't an emergency this morning!! I don't expect them to drop everything to see us..but it was obvious from my voice that I was stressed and upset and she would have been able to hear ds crying in the background.
She has said to call back at 3.30 and see if the duty doctor will MAYBE see him..but she just made me feel so stupid and small and now Im sat here crying my eyes out for my poor ds. Hes so small and so poorly and I can't do anything for him..and the doctors think Im being a stupid pathetic mother and wasting there time!!
Sorry for rant
Just feel so bad for my poor little boy and so totally helpless and useless!
