I’ve
read
all
these
reviews
and
the
only
response
they
seem
to
provide
is
“When
a
patient
comes
through
Emergency
they
are
assessed
based
on
the
urgency
of
their
condition.
The
most
seriously
injured
or
sickest
children
are
seen
first.
This
means
the
wait
can
be
anywhere
from
a
few
minutes
to
several
hours.
No-one's
treatment
can
be
rushed,
so
we
ask
you
to
please
be
patient.”
Why
not
provide
an
actual
response
to
people
expressing
concerns?
Yes,
I
get
it’s
based
on
emergency
status,
but
parents
are
clearly
coming
here
for
answers
and
you’re
not
providing
them.
You’re
a
CHILDRENS
HOSPITAL,
and
expecting
children,
babies
and
parents
to
wait
for
hours
on
end
is
absurd.
I
took
my
10
month
old
on
Saturday
night
who
was
suffering
from
covid.
I’ve
never
had
to
take
my
children
to
emergency
so
to
say
it
was
a
scary
experience
is
putting
it
mild.
I
thought
it
would
be
supportive
and
reassuring.
My
baby
had
a
fever
of
39.7,
a
very
high
heart
rate
and
started
to
get
the
shakes
on
arrival.
The
nurse
told
me
that
I
would
have
to
wait
in
a
private
room
as
we
both
tested
positive
for
covid,
for
the
doctor.
I
asked
if
they
knew
roughly
how
long
as
it
was
11pm
at
night
and
my
baby
hadn’t
slept
for
hours
and
was
very
sick.
She
said
that
at
the
moment
it’s
up
to
a
5
hour
wait.
I’m
sorry,
BUT
a
5
hour
wait
for
an
exhausted
10
month
old,
struggling
to
breathe,
high
fever,
high
heart
rate,
scared
mother??
Unacceptable.
I
was
left
alone
in
a
room
for
2
+
hours
until
I
had
to
press
to
buzzer
and
ask
for
them
to
check
my
baby
as
no
one
had
come
back.
I
eventually
discharged
myself
by
2am
as
my
son
was
overwhelmed
and
clearly
no
one
cared
to
update
me
on
what
was
going
on.
I
understand
the
hospital
system
is
under
pressure,
we
all
understand
that
after
the
last
few
years,
but
that
is
a
joke.
Where
is
the
care
for
the
sick
children?
The
concern
for
the
worried
parents?
It’s
a
broken
system
that
needs
to
be
fixed.
