My 3 year old son went to the hospital with RSV and possible pneumonia, after his older brother got admitted for the same thing. Younger son stays there three days, and does okay for the moment on the day a particular doctor sees him. This particular doctor reverses prior docs' decisions to give my son amoxicillin and, seeing him for the afternoon at 91% O2, discharges him.
By 4 am I am back at the ER with a coughing, lethargic, hypoxic child. I'm livid. He gets diagnosed with severe reactive airway, needs 30 liters/min, and is given amox and Prednisone after we complain about the earlier discharge. The medical director of pediatrics comes to see me in the morning and leaves promising a "granular review" of the discharge decision. I also got the doc in question to be taken off anything having to do with my son. Now he is seen by the same couple of faces, with copious notes taken and nothing left unturned.
I'm still unsure what to do about the arrogant doc and how far to escalate. It just seemed so hasty and indifferent.
