Texsox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Linked The nurse put an adult-sized mask on 9-month-old Gillian (they didn't have anything else). The mask was huge, and Gillian couldn't easily inhale the medicine to treat her asthma attack, her mom says. Then they had a hard time getting Gillian's blood pressure because the adult cuff was gigantic on her tiny arm. Everything was geared to adults. "I asked, 'Don't you have a pediatrician here?' and the doctor told me, 'No, we don't keep a pediatrician in the emergency room.' " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
