Table 2.

Qualitative comments from families on the diagnostic experience

Parent 1 “I was frustrated because they have urine strips at the clinic, but they never thought to use them”
Parent 2 “I thought it might be a kidney problem because of the swollen eyes but they ensured me it was an allergy”
Parent 3 “I was hoping one of the doctors here would figure out what was wrong. When I sent the pictures of my child to my relative who is a medical student overseas, he got back to us in 5 minutes with the correct diagnosis”
Parent 4 “We saw the same ER doctor 5 times! The doctor just kept diagnosing allergies and increased the dosage of Benadryl each time”
