“King Could Barely Speak. They Barely Cared.”

๐ฉบ When A Child Can’t Speak, the System Doesn’t Listen
Dear Dr Reid,
“I took King to the emergency room this morning and they refused to see him at all…”
Again.
As with Honor.
As with me.
This is not coincidence — this is custom.
“King is very sick and can barely even talk.”
But because his oxygen saturation read as “acceptable,” they denied the body in front of them.
No lung auscultation.
No examination.
No care.
Just theatre — a performance of refusal scripted in advance.
๐ญ Medical Theatre, Act II: The Defensive Ensemble
“They act so defensive as though I’m going to argue with them.”
Because to defend is easier than to diagnose.
Because institutional pride has replaced paediatric ethics.
Because they interpret calm advocacy as threat — and dismiss the child as collateral.
⚠ Hate in Policy Drag
“They are hateful and leave us unable to breathe for months.”
King’s distress was not invisible. It was ignored.
Because I spoke first.
Because I filed complaints.
Because I refused to perform maternal desperation to their liking.
๐จ⚕️ Referral Request — With Urgency
“I think King needs an appointment with Dr Reid.”
Agreed — because you listen.
And in this collapsing ecosystem of disbelief, listening is rarer than oxygen.
“The hospital staff have a hateful, defective attitude…”
Correct.
And this is why we attend A&E — not out of hysteria — but refusal to bury our children by bureaucratic suffocation.
