My OH has suffered from collapsed lungs several times and ended up having his lung glued to his chest ,,, he was having some chest pain and felt quite familiar to his previous collapses
whislt in there , there was a child possibly about a year old and she was crying so hard i started to cry !! It was heartbreaking , i have no idea what had happened but we came to the conclusion that wasnt life threatening as the nurses and doctors in there were laughing

i did wonder though ,,, hospital wristbands ,,, there was a tub of them the usual white ones and then a tub of red ones ,,, what are the red ones for ? x

The red ones are for if the patient has an allergy to something, everytime my Dad is in hospital he has to have a red one as he is allergic to all antibiotics.

Poor little one though and hope your OH and the little one at the hospital are both ok xx

ah thank you !!! ,,,,,not sure on the little one ,,, i thought possible burn but heard them say they got x amount of paracetomal down her throat so figure burns would need more than that ?
there was some dressings on the bed so maybe a nasty fall
My Oh has pleurisy ( sp ) ,and somthign about the scar tissue from his previous op also affecting him x

at our hospital there are green ones too and these indicate he someone is at risk of falling! They are a good way of alerting people to things quickly. Hope your oh is ok!

Oh your poor OH. Dave has had that before and it floored him for 2 weeks. Hope he feels better soon. I hate hearing kiddies crying, breaks your heart doesn't it. I hope they're ok

Oh no hope your OH is ok. When we were in with Abbie when she was scolded they gave her paracetamol and dressed her wound so it may have been that.

We walked past a bed with a little boy with an oxygen mask on and it broke my heart
xx

Red is usually for alerts of some sort. Most often allergies. I get one when im in and feel so special LOL

it makes me chuckle when your kids lying as though there is no energy in their body at all, or limping and cant walk and you cant touch them anywhere so you think OMG and rush to A&E.

then in the miracle of the waiting room they start running around with other kids and there appears nothing wrong, mines done this a couple of times and i do feel like an idiot after..... kids

Kids love to make their parents look like liars and idiots lol
