A Brazilian doctor has lost his job after prescribing chocolate ice cream and video games to a 9-year-old boy with a sore throat and flu-like symptoms.
Reports said Priscila da Silva Ramos, 37 from Osasco sent her child to the clinic for checkup after he started feeling sick and vomiting.
Romos claimed that the doctor on duty acted unprofessionally. She said the doctor ‘started writing the prescription without examining my son, without looking at his throat, without examining his chest, without anything’.
The doctor’s prescription included amoxicillin, ibuprofen, dipyrone, prednisolone, and N-acetylcysteine as well as ice cream and daily sessions of gaming.
According to Romos, the doctor ‘asked my son if he liked ice cream, he said yes. He asked if chocolate or strawberry, my son replied chocolate. But I never imagined that he wrote ice cream on the prescription. But he did prescribe the ice cream and daily sessions of the mobile video game Free Fire’.
Ramos told pressmen that she didn’t notice the ice cream and video game sessions on the prescription until the next day. Surprised, she share it on social media and the doctor involved subsequently got fired.
