Her parents say Emmeline's treatment while she waited to be admitted to the hospital's children's ward left them feeling helpless.On 17 February, following another seizure, her mother Rebecca was told at her out-of-hours GP service to bring her to the emergency department at CUH.
"It is absolutely insane to expect a small baby or anybody with a small baby to manage in those conditions. But, from an infection control perspective, there is none. There is absolutely no infection control. There is no isolation for young people; there is no isolation for the elderly." The couple say they felt they had to lodge a complaint with hospital management over the conditions in the Emergency Department prior to Emmeline's admission, because that was the right thing to do and change would not happen if nobody complained."I suppose from a pure dignity perspective, they need to know what happened and they need to understand how it feels as a mother to be sitting there with your baby and they are having these seizures and you have no idea why," Rebecca said.
Separately, RTÉ News has established that at the time of Emmeline O'Riordan's admission on 18 February, Cork University Hospital was experiencing significant overcrowding.
And we are ready for cononavirus?
SimonHarrisTD you and your team should be utterly ashamed.
That comment from the CUH spokesman is a disgrace. Yes, there may be other options people can consider. But a young baby having seizures has to go to A&E. I’m disabled, I have no option to go to A&E when I’m sick. Unfortunately my local hospital is Tallaght
The only thing the HSE is good at providing is wages to never ending administration. What an embarrassment our health service is. And that gormless muppet still at the helm. How far we’ve fallen and how little we can do about it. It’s FG’s Oirland.
SimonHarrisTD this is utterly disgraceful. Shame on the HSELive Shame
Ashamed.
Jesus
At least she was treated.
