This is soul destroying, beyond belief, god only knows what that child has suffered and the parents distress of losing a child. What is going on with hospitals these days? Why don’t people know that there is a medical advocate to step in, when there are concerns that your child or anyone for that matter is not getting the help needed and your voice is going unheard? 

This child would have been in absolute agony, yet the doctors did not think about doing a scan. That should have been done as a precaution, along with urine testing. I am aware that the testing for neuroblastoma has stopped in Australia for infants, from memory. I think it was seen as not cost effective to test every child at birth or the first few months of life.
