Doctor dismissed concerns about struggling infant
I am writing to express my concern regarding the care my young infant received during a recent appointment. My child had been unwell for an extended period, with symptoms becoming progressively worse. Despite following the recommended treatment approach, there was no improvement. At the time of the appointment, my baby was experiencing breathing difficulties and feeding problems. As a parent, this was very worrying, and I sought medical attention because I was concerned about my child's wellbeing. Unfortunately, the consultation was disappointing and distressing. Rather than conducting a comprehensive assessment or acknowledging the significance of the symptoms in such a young child, I was repeatedly advised to wait longer and return only if the condition did not improve. This guidance was given despite observable signs of deterioration and despite my child's very young age. I also felt that my concerns were dismissed and treated in a condescending manner, as though they stemmed from a lack of understanding rather than careful observation of my own child. Parents are often the first to notice when something is wrong, particularly with infants who cannot express their distress verbally. Being made to feel disregarded while my baby was visibly unwell was very upsetting. For an infant of this age, breathing and feeding difficulties are recognised as matters requiring prompt and careful evaluation. A "wait and see" approach in this situation felt inappropriate and concerning. I left the appointment feeling unheard, unsupported, and worried that my baby's condition was not being taken seriously. I am providing this feedback not only because of my own experience, but out of concern for other families who may face similar situations. I hope this is considered carefully and used to reflect on clinical decision-making and communication with parents, particularly when caring for very young and vulnerable patients.
The service at this practice fell significantly short of expectations and I have serious concerns about the quality of care being provided.
