Out of Date Medication

"Out of Date Medication"

About: Shotley Bridge Hospital Site

My 17 year old daughter (who was in the middle of her A level exams) went to the minor injuries unit with a UTI and was given Antibiotics, a week later she had to go to A&E in Manchester when this condition worsened and was told by the doctor there that the medication prescribed was 30 years out of date and would have has zero effect on the infection as it was resistant. I will be putting in a complaint against the doctor who obviously needs re-training in modern medicine.
