My child had a booked admission to help assess their epilepsy.
I felt the staff all helped with my child's assessment and kept them safe during their induced epileptic seizures. I felt relieved.
However, I felt EEG staff could have suggested at the time that on discharge my child could have gone home with someone else in our family, to catch up on sleep as they have been severely sleep-deprived and had medications withheld for the assessment which is a trigger for their seizures, then I could have remained by myself at SCGH cafeteria to collect my child's medication from SCGH Pharmacy, which I believe would have been useful. That would have freed up the video EEG room for the next incoming patient waiting for admission that day.
