I brought my son to this hospital twice. The first time, he had an earache. The emergency room doctor was excellent in his diagnosis and treatment. The staff was attentive, and I thank him for that. However, the other day, my son had a headache and weakness. My wife took him to the pediatrician, Zeynep, who said, "You've been here early, and your throat has started to get sore." She prescribed antibiotics directly. When I looked up sore throats online, it said that a swab is taken for sore throats to determine whether they're viral or bacterial. I asked my wife if they had done a test. She said, "No, they just examined the throat and didn't test it." It's just a swab test; the results come back in 15 minutes. The doctor just looked at the swab and prescribed the antibiotics. I didn't feel comfortable, so I took him to another doctor. It turned out the child had hand-foot disease. Antibiotics aren't prescribed for viral infections. They prescribe antibiotics for children without direct diagnosis, without testing, without knowing the cause. With this illness, we would have experienced more harm than good from antibiotics. It was going to kill the beneficial bacteria in my child's gut for nothing. It's no longer a joke to just say, "He's a doctor, he's the one who gives what he knows." And my child got through it in two or three days, drinking plenty of fluids, resting with a throat spray and vitamins. We were going to use antibiotics for 10 days for nothing. Thankfully, we still have doctors who care about children's health. God forbid we meet those doctors. What can I say?
