Misdiagnosed my daughter now she's seriously ill

Health & Medicine

Saturday night the 13th of April we rushed my daughter to Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands. She had a temperature of almost 40 degrees and they diagnosed her with a viral infection. They released her later the evening with a temperature of 37 degrees and told us to give her a voltaren suppository if her temp spiked again. On Sunday evening we had to rush her back again this time with a fever and tummy pains. We were fed the same rubbish and got a script for buscopan and voltaren suppositories. We were told it should take a week for it to clear up and that we should manage her temperature and ride out the week.By Thursday I couldn't handle it anymore and book an appointment with her pediatrician. Today she was admitted to N1 city hospital with pneumonia. This is life threatening for a 2 year old and now she's seriously ill. Maybe those doctors and nurses should concentrate more on the patients and less on their personal conversations. I'm not leaving at this I will be contacting my lawyer Monday morning to seek legal advice. We don't pay ridiculous fees to hear your banter do your job and see to your patients. I see they had no problem claiming from my medical aid. Disgusting
