Care of our young child

Posted By heronyp34

"Care of our young child"

About: Ipswich Hospital / Emergency Department Queensland Children's Hospital

(as a parent/guardian),

Recently our child had two seizures and was rushed to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital (LCCH) by ambulance. Although the care was good, four hours later our child was discharged and sent home, against our better judgement. Two hours later our child suffered an 8 min seizure that saw our child rushed by ambulance to the Ipswich Hospital where our child continued to suffer seizures. The care our child received this time could not be faulted. The RN and doctor on duty in the kids emergency ensured our child was made comfortable and that all our questions were answered. We finally felt we were being heard! The care continue when our child was admitted to the ward and the care continued to be amazing. Thankfully our child is now home. The care continues with the same doctors, but now as an outpatient. I would not hesitate in using this hospital in the future.
