"Unprofessional"

About: Macclesfield District General Hospital / Accident and emergency

I took my 2 year old son to the hospital on boxing day as he was screaming while urinating, the doctor told me that there is a slight infection and it's nothing to worry about so leave it... well, the next few days were worse for my son and he continued screaming which was upsetting for me so I felt I needed a second opinion and went to my doctors when they opened and what a good thing too. My son has a water infection and the doctors can not believe the macc doctor didn't even send the urine sample off to be tested even tho there were signs of infection. My doctor gave my son antibiotics to get rid of the infection. The Macclesfield doctor should lose boxing days wage as he clearly let a 2 year old suffer by not doing his job! This is the second time I've delt with unprofessional doctors at that hospital when it comes to young children! It is shocking!
