"2 day Old baby and AE...."

Anything else?

Says it all really, we where left waiting for 4 hours, with our son who was in urinary retention, after we presented with a history of a minimum of 12 not passing urine.....well he was 2 days old. We were apparently referred to the neonate team (who where busy fair enough) then prioritized to the pediatric team who clearly thought we were calpol deficient parents. Despite the fact I gave a clear and concise history, explained my sons bladder could be felt up at the umbilicus and was evidently distressing him. That he had no urinated for over 12 hours etc and we on refection where unsure about it after was born due to loads of meconuim being passed. We were treated like, we had no idea and could not be articulate in voicing issues. Eventually he was seen and his bladder was as I said, the SHOs eyebrows shot up in to her hair and she suggested admission. He then screamed and an passed about 70+ mls of " brick dust urine" . I then repeated that I would be admitting my son or my self anywhere near this hospital as they clearly have failed again. I object to the fact that both my partner and myself were treated like we had no idea, about anything and effectively dismissed. Assume nothing about your patients, just because this is our local hospital does not mean education is lacking.
