How awful......I think I would have just barged into the docs office anyway but you really don't know how you will react in these situations. I was in a restaurant with my 23 month old recently and he started to choke, I am trained in paediatric first aid but just froze in mad panic...luckily my partner was with me and managed to clear his throat but I was useless.. The father probably did the same, the receptionist should be held accountable..a child's welfare is surely worth the risk of getting a bollocking for disturbing the doctor if it turned out not to be serious?? RIP little one
