This story seems to be related to underestimation, "this is a mild flu", etc.
In this case a happy ending.
Moa 2.5 years was denied emergency care
KARLSKOGA
Little Moa 2.5 years was over 40-degree fever and was really bad.
A doctor in Karlskoga gave parents the Council to go to the emergency room at US? because it could be swine flu.
But there she was not welcome.
- I was told they did not accept children over one year. What a shock! Mom says Madelene Forest.
Sample Responses revealed later that it was swine flu.
On November 7, Moa became ill with fever and cough. Two days later, she became much worse.
- I called the Brick Farm health center and we had time that day, "says mom Madelene Forest.
At the health center, she was examined thoroughly and a sample was taken swine flu.
But Moa was not better - on the contrary.
41 degrees
She vomited on tap and the fever was nearly 41 degrees. And it was more than Madelene and her husband Peter who was worried.
- On the evening rang the doctor at the health center up our home and wondered how Moa felt. What a wonderful caring doctor! We told them how it was and then he gave us the Council to go to the emergency room in uso.
Madelene Forest still rang up the emergency room to announce that it was coming. That was when she was told that "we do not accept children over one year. We have still no call here now. "
- I almost lost her chin. When I found myself, I wondered where I would have to go with my sick child? I got no response. It was a doctor in Karlskoga, which gave me the Council took no account of. A doctor who also proven very worried. Instead, people thought that we would wait for the test answers the day after, "says Madelene.
He continues:
- How on earth can be treated as an emergency department? We were so worried.
Not welcome
After the conversation with US? Moas parents chose not to travel to ?rebro.
- We were not welcome ...
Instead, it was a long night for Moa and her parents.
- We watched all night, Moa felt really bad fever and was above 40 degrees.
When it finally became the morning rang Madelene to the health center.
- I told a nurse what happened and she promised to talk to "our" good-natured doctor. She returned a moment later with the news that now we could go to uso.
The doctor who examines Moa where noted immediately, according to Madelene, it definitely was not swine flu.
- It was established before the investigation even started. Very strange. The answer to the test, we would have of course the day after the clinic, according to Madelene.
Moa were sent home and it was again a battle against high fever and dehydration.
- But it was okay, it had the doctor on US? found ...
No test results
The day after it becomes a new visit to the clinic. On the other hand, there was no test results.
- It turned out that the doctor in ?rebro phoned the health center in Karlskoga and ordered that it would throw the sample. Very strange as it was before the doctor examined the Moa.
Moa was sick a few days before she got better, but her parents wanted to take a new swine flu samples.
On Wednesday came the answer - Moa had swine flu.
Now, Madelene reported the incident to the patient panel.
- I'm not looking to make any debt. I do believe that the procedures must be reviewed, not worried parents should be treated in this way. Especially in these times of flu. It is simply indefensible.
