Mom shamed by hospital nurse
I took my LO to the ER early this morning. She was gasping with every breath and wouldn’t take a bottle. We took her ave that’s where they told us she has croup. The ER nurse that does the initial work up told me that I needed to pay better attention to my child because if I did I would have known that it wasn’t anything too serious because she wasn’t having rib retractions. I felt about as big as a grain of rice. When we got back to the room the ER doctor told us that we did the right thing by bringing her in. I can’t shake the feeling that we might have overreacted because of the way that nurse spoke to us.

Make a complaint! Horrible bitch! I also took my LB to the GP yesterday because of his breathing and cough, he also has croup! He wasn’t retracting but when their breathing is affected then I think it’s vital to be seen! You did the right thing ☺️ they gave my LB steroids x
Sounds like the nurse forgot that not everyone has medical training and knows the difference between serious/not serious gasping. Don't let it get to you, it's always the right thing to take them in if you're not sure, you never know
