Parents know their baby best. Medical staff need to listen

The baby could have had blood tests and they would given some idea what the problem was. The baby’s blood pressure should have been montiored for longer to ensure it didn’t go up again. I would think such high blood pressure in a baby could be life thretening.

Such a tragedy – this sort of thing just shouldn’t happen. When will hospital staff realise that mother’s usually know their own babies foibles and do more than just fob us off.

Oh my heart breaks for this poor child and family.
This should not happen ..one relies on the advice of doctors and hospital staff but so many times they are just not getting it right.

A Mother knows when something is wrong with their child. How dare that nurse laugh at her. I work in a hospital, admittedly I’m not a nurse, but no-one has ever laughed at anyone even a drunk person. That nurse needs to be pulled over the coals for her attitude. Whether you think a parent is right or wrong, you should still listen to them. I’m so sorry for this family’s loss.

Bless this family !! How tragic that this costed the boys life, something that never can be repaid…
No matter what the symptoms and complaints are, a hospital should take each and every person/life serious !

Hospitals should be accountable for so much, this poor mother has to bury her baby and all the nurse could do was laugh at her suggestions! Why isn’t this nurse been questioned for the way she carried on? Look what’s happened at Bankstown Hospital and now Royal North Shore what is happening to our medical system? How many more babies have to die before something is done about it?

Nooooo. This mother did all the right things for her child based on her gut instincts and the medical professional let her, her baby and her family down terribly. This should never have happened.

This is just heartbreaking and tragic. I am sorry to hear about this.

Sadly, I can completely believe in the incompetence and callousness of the medical staff.

Oh my goodness. How sad. I hope there is a full investigation done.
My thoughts are with the family

This is tragic.

No one can bring little Malakai back, but someone needs to be accountable for his death. The medical staff were clearly negligent in this case. My deepest condolences to the family.

This is terrible. Why nobody gave that little boy the attention he deserved?

when will they stop fobbing off worried parents!

Poor family. It’s so concerning that hospitals don’t take parents seriously these days. There’s too many cases like these. I can’t being to fathom what they are going through. So sad.

How horrible :,( It’s awful to go to a Dr and have them dismiss you as if your claims are not important. How awful for them to not look into it better. Feeling such sorrow for this family
