My son was unwell with a cough, temp, and shortness of breath. We contacted the GP practice, Marnock Medical Group, who gave us an emergency on the day appointment.
My son saw Dr Dhillon, on examination my son's oxygen levels were low, and he was unhappy with crackles he could hear in his chest/lungs. He repeated the obs, then contacted the hospital asking for my son to be monitored and a chest X-ray to be performed.
Dr Dhillon had to persuade the hospital to see my son, explaining that he had repeated oxygen levels using more than one device and wanted him seen. After a visit to hospital my son was started on antibiotics and given a 48hour access to children's ward incase he becomes more unwell.
We are extremely grateful for Dr Dhillon pushing for the hospital to see our son. He was thorough throughout his examination and took great care and time.
