I started watching these yesterday and haven't stopped, i have decided to do a fundraiser for a hospital here in Australia because of this show, doctors are truly hero's, thank you.

[@hannahxc03]

I had a cleft lip and palate and had a lot of surgeries. Just be patient and everything will get better. I had the same surgery at six years old. They took the bone out of my left hip!! The bone graph will recover soon.I look so different to this day because of the amazing doctors and nurses who stuck with me since day one!!! GO FREYA!!!!

[@insertname2067]

I have a rare syndrom called ODDD (me and my mam are the only ones in britain to have it so far) which stands for Oclo, Digital , Dental and Displacia syndrom meaning it affects my hearing as i am deaf in one ear with perferations in both, joints as my fingers are deformed aka not straight and eye sight as i have stigma as well. ever since i was born, 3 months old i think well thats what mam told me, i had 4 operations each year (2 on my hands since they couldn't do both at the same time and 2 on my ears) so i missed alot of school work and couldn't make as many friends sadly. The operations still go till I'm 18 which hopefully is the last one.

[@GeeklingNo1]

Always share what’s going to happen to your kids. It’s their bodies and they have a right to know what that doctor’s gonna do. My mom held me down for my five year old shots instead of explaining what was going to happen and I spent the rest of my childhood absolutely terrified of doctors. They can be scared and scream and cry but they still have a right to know what you’re going to do.

[@diane9247]

That play specialist is incredible! Does anyone know if we have positions like that in the states? I’m a nursing student and I know that we have social workers, but I’ve never come across a specific volunteer/position just for helping calm the children’s nerves with play. What a great idea!!

[@SarahKDB]

Rose I was wondering that as well. Such a great idea! This is something volunteers could do with proper training. If we don't have them, we should!

[@realmms]

In US and Canada they are often called Child Life Specialists.

[@celticquestful]

As realmms said, Child Life Specialists (as they're known in Canada & the USA), work within hospitals to provide support & education to children so that they can cope with both their conditions & their experience within the medical system. They're invaluable!

I actually thought i was the only person with A cleft palate and seeing freya going through the same things as me, brings back memories of when i had the exact same operation, i had, i'm crying because sometimes you don't often know if your the only person with that condition and to see that there is millions of people with the same condition as me is great

Diamond CookiesXD Just had two back surgeries! One in September for a herniated disc and stenosis and one in December to implant a spinal cord stimulator for my chronic pain. Plus a surgery on my arm when I was a child after a bad break. I've got a connective tissue disorder that affects my bones (broken around 40 so far (I'm 29) and joints (I'm hypermobile) hence the numerous issues.

[@JG-qg1gz]

not sure if this counts, but had my wisdom teeth removed around last year.

[@becklewis9889]

DiamondCookies XD is it bad that I want to

[@DreamBelief]

@@becklewis9889 I have had loads of ops all my life. I guess I can't fault you for curiosity of what it's like (I assume that is the reason). Although, I would like you to keep in mind that it is not pleasant whatsoever, and what is even worse is living with the condition or incident that meant you needed an operation in the first place. It's like people that tell me they wish they had a disabled parking pass. They wouldn't wish that if they took longer to think about what it really entails.

So I have watched all series 1 and was hoping one of my medical conditions would be in it. I click on episode 11 and its about Arthritis, which i suffer from. (i left a comment on that video ;) and then this episode was about cleft lip and palates and i was born with a cleft palate. It feels amazing to be able to understand what these children are going through! I have only had 2 operations on my cleft whereas my twin sister has had around 6 or 7.

[@irisdrewery6587]

One would think that the time spent trying to convince the child to let them remove the stitches, would have been better spent waiting for a numbing cream to take effect. Application once they arrive for the appointment, numbish skin when they remove the first one and the child should be calmer. All stitch removal isn’t painless. Just my opinion.

@Ocean Equestrian you don't know the whole story? Also, why is him being upset about stitches making him an entitled brat???
