Summary
Ms C complained that a medical practice she was registered with failed to properly assess her or her children with regard to their symptoms. Ms C was unhappy with the practice's assessment of her thyroid (a gland in the front inside area of the neck) and matters related to a parasite (an organism that lives on or in the body (host) from which it feeds) that she believed she and her family were suffering from.
We noted that Ms C was registered with the practice for approximately three months and within that period, tests were carried out on both Ms C and her two children. We considered that the practice had carried out reasonable and appropriate investigations and that there was no evidence of parasites.
