We brought our 5 year old grandson in after a bump on the head while giving his details he had a seizure and was rushed in for treatment.i had a 3 month old in a car seat with me and my daughter who was terrified and panicking as he was not responding to treatment he was given medication but had an adverse reaction and his breathing was laboured he was rushed into resus and they worked on him for about an hour , as it a small hospital a pediatrician had to be brought in . The problem was everyone was so indisisive they couldn't decide whether to send him to the trauma hospital at Middlesbrough or take him into theatre for a scan and all this time he was unconscious and being worked on , I screamed for them to take him to the other hospital which they eventually did .i was in shock I felt physically sick and my mouth was so dry I couldn't speak I asked 4 staff members for water and they said they didn't have any I was nearly fainting !! So I didn't get a drink until we got to the other hospital, I can't believe a hospital has no drinking stations .the good news is my grandson survived and is back to normal but I feel we could have lost him or he could have had brain damage because of the delay . The treatment at James cook was fantastic
