Abby’s mom brought tears to my eyes, man. Asking her to move her hand with breathing and having her daydream about the beach was brilliant. Well done!

Abby's mum was so good getting her through that difficult situation; terrific parenting skills under pressure.

This hospital is rather a well oiled machine of doctors and nurses

[@SnowPink90]

Mom. You did a fabulous job with Abby. You really did. As someone that was a child in emergency, I was so happy to see how calm you were in front of her. That’s one thing we have today to be grateful for with cell phones is that your husband related a message to his daughter and that was so great. So hard to see kids crying and all they wanna do is go home had me tearing up. I love the way. The elderly lady said thank you to her 2 young relatives that helped her well. I’m glad she was able to go home. And the couple were really cute because they reminded me of me and my late husband. And for those who commented about her being able to walk out to have a smoke when she had sore back enough to get her to emergency, it’s because it’s an epidural site and it’s different than falling and hurting your back. A bad epidural could ache your back for the rest of your life because mine does and it’s 33 years old. Sometimes it’s just so painful that it feels raw and you know that epidurals aren’t supposed to hurt your back for that many years, but some area where the epidural was putting is damaged. New moms who had the epidural complain about the discomfort of it, but then there’s some that have the discomfort of it for years like I said before. Every night, I’m on my heating pad because of it. Cold packs don’t help it. Another great video showing the great work of doctors, nurses and security guards!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰💖

[@hrhdianednum7203]

I’m an ex smoker and whether you believe me or not is irrelevant but your brain has pain receptors on your brain cells that nicotine attaches to that helps with pain receptors which can reduce some pain so as long as her hips or sciatic nerve isn’t affected then it has no barring on how she walks. Pain is on the inside and believe me quitting smoking is very very difficult and it’s not like I’m going to fast today but for water that’s a piece of cake compared to quitting smoking but with different treatment it can be done but unless it’s an emergency trach let’s say you have patches of nicotine to help then if and only if they’re ready to quit and that’s the biggest issue is wanting to quit and as I’m an ex-smoker it’s one of the hardest part… wanting to quit, it’s the only way you can quit and it took me 40 years to get that far!

When I was just over 2 years old I fell about 3 meters and fractured my head, neck and needed about 150 stitches in my head and had a major concussion. My parents said that the doctor that did my stitches, was a plastic surgeon. He would talk to me while doing the stitches in such a calm and collective voice that I never even fussed. The ER sent me home (they didn't know about the neck break yet - this was 1978) and my parents had to keep me away all night. I guess I screamed all night because of the pain. 2 days later, I was walking around our house and my parents thought I had a stroke as I was dragging my right side of my body. They took me back to the ER - who then shipped me 100 miles to a bigger hospital. I had more tests done and The saw that I had also broken C-1 in my neck. Because I was so little they could not put me in a "Halo" so the doctor fitted me with something else that I had to wear for 18 months. The one good thing that came out of all of this was my mom taught me to read really young and now I love to read.

[@sarakeeton1980]

Kicking out an alcoholic before they've been treated seems super immoral. I get that they don't want to deal with unruly behavior, but its an illness, and people come in drunk and high constantly. For some of these people, it's the only way that they'll seek much needed treatment. Put them in a psychiatric unit, if you must. Dude wasn't even causing problems, but "drinking alcohol from a bottle." Ugh.

How can someone go to the a&e for bronchitis, go to the doctors and get some antibiotics, a&e stands for an accident or an emergency. The whole show, what a nightmare.

[@lesliehyde]

Bronchitis is not just an infection but also frequently has inflammation of the airways. Airways that are causing problems and it's not at a time when the person is able to get to their own doctor then the appropriate places to go are urgent care if available or the er/a&e. And considering it's a smoker who is choosing to not smoke for 3 days, then their airways are already compromised and add bronchitis (or as later told) a chest infection, then that just compounds their problems.

[@snahg2356]

Bronchitis doesn't follow doctor's office hours. My sister went to a US emergi-care for acute bronchitis because it hit hard over the weekend. They gave her the wrong antibiotics and by the time she was able to get into her own Dr. the left side of her heart was dieing, her Dr. sent her directly back to the hospital. She is now permanently disabled with a pacemaker. So yes, there are times when bronchitis is an emergency
