Was Alfie Podmores Doctor an immigrant

From the guardian:

A report from the hospital said Alfie had not been not showing many of the typical signs of pneumonia. But the hospital later said it could have done more to help him.

The hearing at Birmingham coroner's court heard how Alfie complained to doctors of a pain in his shoulder, and the hospital admitted it was unusual for a child of his age to be able to identify a specific area of the body where there was pain. No blood tests were carried out.

The Birmingham coroner, Aidan Cotter, said: "Alfie definitely had an infection, it may have shown up on an x-ray or with a blood test but we don't know if it would have done because those things were not done."

The report also said Alfies mother was arrested on suspicion and held for 24 hours, and not allowed to see her sons body for 10 days.

Shame on us.
