Dr assumed they wouldn't be able to pay😮 Because I had dreadlocks.Dr assumed i was takibg drugs and plied my 5 week old baby with morphine codeine diazepam pethadine only to ween him off these drugs and my son came back with brain damage...in their reports they wrote my son had hypothermia and decided to call it sids

This is so useful

Its not the role of the translator to give medical advice

[@LD-wd6ip]

Was it false hope though? Was it right to give them hope?

[@LD-wd6ip]

Also we dont know any details of this particular story, why was the advice given, what was the outcome, what happened to the patient? This is unfair and offensive to the oncologist involved.

She doesnt seen to have full understanding of the circumstances medical staff work under. Expecting a larger room to be prepared because a patient decided to bring 7 extra people to their appointment?
