Her son’s appendicitis symptoms were dismissed as a stomach bug
Appendicitis is a disease that, if caught in time, is simple enough to treat; they simply remove the offending organ. However, if the infected appendix bursts before it can be taken out, the bacteria can go into the bloodstream and give you sepsis.
This mother was right to insist they give her a more accurate diagnosis for her son’s symptoms. Children may not present with the same signs as adults do, so physicians need to be extra thorough in order not to miss anything.
