I visited the children's A&E department with my 6 year old on the 13th June around 9.30-10pm. The junior doctor who assessed was extremely rude and dismissive of us. We were made to feel extremely small and quite stupid. We happened to mention that my daughter was undergoing tests through the GP regarding her liver and she just threw it back at us that it will be vitamin D deficiency causing the problem (how she would know this without actually listening to what we were saying, I will never know) I tried to tell her again about my daughters bloods test and was rudely informed again 'that we all have vitamin D deficiency in the UK so that's what it is!')
I would like to point out that my daughters vitamin D came back normal and is now being discussed with a paediatrician...understandably we came to the department for a different reason however, if this doctor had bothered to listen to us instead of seeing us as an inconvenience, this issue could of been picked up on earlier!
Think maybe she should re-learn her people skills.
