My 1.5 year old was stung/bitten by something at school pickup when collecting his older sibling. With my partner being allergic to bee stings I absolutely panicked and took my child to the ED immediately. We were triaged immediately by a lovely and caring nurse by the name of Ko. She was reassuring, calm and informative of what she needed to do and what the next steps would be. I often feel conflicted whether I am over reacting by presenting to ED and wasting anyone's time, or if I am going to miss the signs and leave it too late before presenting.
Ko was extremely empathetic and reassuring in that when it comes to our children's health don't ever feel like I was over reacting. Her gentle nature made the entire experience less stressful. Dr Julian who examined my son after triage was also extremely reassuring, empathetic and explained what he was going to examine and why. All in all, this experience has left me with confidence in the Kalgoorlie Health Campus's ability to care for myself and my families health. I cannot explain my appreciation enough and I hope both Ko, Dr Julian & any other Nurse or student that were present are commended for their wonderful care. I am very grateful for the care received. Thank you all.
