My school aged child presented to the Sale Emergency via Ambulance and was diagnosed with Influenza A and Asthma, They were sent home heavily breathing.
Hours later they became disorientated, weak and then unresponsive and rushed to another regional hospital and then airlifted to a metropolitan hospital. My child was in Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). I understand they would have died if I didn’t make the 000 call. I believe if sale hospital had of kept them for observation or checked their blood sugars and ketones this would have been caught early. The metropolitan hospital have now diagnosed my child with Diabetes Type 1.
"Misdiagnosed"
