"After discharge care"

About: Broome Health Campus / Paediatrics

(as a parent/guardian),

My child was admitted to the Broome Hospital Paeds ward with suspected Septic athritis. Their symptoms were not being able to walk without pain and they also had vomitting.

I found the Dr that spoke to me to be very condescending when I asked questions.

I only discovered after my child's discharge that a Dr had written in their notes that they had diarrhoea, at no point did my child have diarrhoea. I also discovered after their discharge that they had rotavirus and Strep.  Nobody from the hospital informed me of that.  My concern is should a Dr of called me to inform me of this?  The only way I found out about this was through My health record.

Very disappointed
