"Visit to accident and emergency"

My grandson age 3 weeks attended this A&E last Monday 4th December 2017 at lunchtime with constant vomiting of all his feeds, and after being kept there all day was discharged at 8pm with reflux and meds to treat this. The baby continued to vomit all his feeds the next day and the urinated blood in his nappy. When my daughter phoned the A&E, they advised there was a 4 hour wait time and advised not to bring him. She the decided to take him to Addenbrokes, who said he was completely dehydrated from the constant vomiting and was admitted. An ultrasound scan the revealed a condition called Pyloric Stenosis, which if an ultrasound had been performed at PAH would have detected this rare condition. He was subsequently operated on at Addenbrokes and discharged 4 days later. I appreciate that A&E are stretched to capacity, but my daughter begged for an ultrasound and was dismissed as the child did not appear ill!!! No urine sample was take only bloods. By the time he got to Addenbrokes, he was back to his birth weight, so had lost a pound in weight in two days, as she had had him weighed two days previous.
