Dismissed serious symptoms as normal repeatedly

This has been the most disappointing clinic experience I have had. The clinical staff seem unable to provide effective care, and appear to rely on basic pain relief for most complaints. I experienced a persistent cough lasting three months and requested imaging of my chest due to a sensation of heat. The response was to suggest a digestive issue. Within two weeks, I required hospital admission for a serious respiratory infection that was life-threatening. When my infant son developed a fever that persisted for five days alongside a severe cough and nasal congestion, I was told this was typical for his age and advised to return if symptoms did not improve within a day. This approach seemed unhelpful—how would a single day make a meaningful difference to the assessment or treatment plan? We ultimately needed emergency hospital care. My other son had a cough lasting six weeks, and was informed that coughs of this duration are normal and expected. The clinic appears to dismiss most symptoms as routine. I have accumulated numerous negative experiences at this practice and am actively seeking alternative care.
