QuestionEarlier this year, my daughter was hospitalized with a particularly drug-resistant form or pnemonia. We took her to our GP several times - more specifically on a Friday afternoon and by the following Tuesday, she was hospitalized in our local hospital and then transfered to the national hospital with a collapsed lung. When all was said and done, she had spent 7 weeks in the hospial, undergone surgery to remove the membraine from her left lung and spent some time in intensive care on a repirator.
My question is, if we had taken her to the GP on that Friday, should she have not heard the pnemonia at that point, since my daughter was in such a bad state by the following Tuesday? I have spoken to some of the doctors at the hospital about this but the doctors that treated her all had different answers to the question. My GP has been trustworthy in the past, but now I have gotten permission from the government (we are in Denmark) to switch doctors and file a complaint with the Ministry of Health, should I feel it to me necessary. I need to know for my self if it is likely that she was neglegent in her treatment of my then 11 month daughter or if this sort of thing "just happens". Thanks.
AnswerI have far to little information to support or dispute your claim about your primary doctor. We don't always know what disease is specifically going on, so followup is so important.
Also, i don't know who she looked that friday and whether that was an xray done at this time.
Good luck with it,,,
