I took my child to see an Immunologist Specialist at PCH, to have allergy test done. We saw a senior registrar who I felt was nothing but rude and passed comments that left me very uncomfortable. My child has a very sensitive skin and had reacted to something prior to our appointment, i could not give them any antihistamine as we are prohibited from giving any before allergy test, so they presented with very lil rash on their face and neck.
The Dr read the previous Dr 's notes and it was a detailed note of my child's history. The Dr went on to say this is a very unwell and sick child, they have a difficult life and they have a lot gong on that's really bad. The Dr insisted that I put steroid cream on my child for the rash as they have Eczema and their words were just smother them with that steroid cream for about 5 days. I tried to explain that this was a reaction to something my child ate hence we are having allergy tests done but the Dr kept on saying how sickly my child was.
To top it all they took us to the nurse to have epi-pen education and they introduced us and next thing the Dr whispered something to the nurse , something they didn't want us to hear seeming like it was them telling the nurse something about my child, it was uncomfortable and by the time we were done with the consult I just wanted to leave and wished we hadn't come at all.
