Experience Being A Doctor For A Day With Your Child

Your child is all smiles and running around the house.

By the end of the night, he starts to look listless.

You check and find that his temperature is rising fast.

Your little one starts to wail while you do your best to remain calm, comfort him and figure out what could be wrong?

Did he catch HFMD from his classmates? Or could it be dengue fever? Every second matters when it comes to emergencies.

Should you a) bring him to a clinic near your home or b) send him to Accident and Emergency (A & E)?

When To Send Your Child To The A & E?

Tips To Prepare For A Child's Hospital Stay

Critical situations that require immediate attention include high fever, choking, muscle and bone trauma, just to name a few.

However, there are non-critical conditions that warrant a visit to the doctor, such as cold and flu, cuts and bruises, mild burns and scalds, and nosebleeds.

To seek treatment for all these conditions, especially in the middle of the night, you can count on Mount Elizabeth Hospitals’ A & E department and 24-hour clinics, where there are paediatricians on-call when you need them.

One exciting highlight of the event is the use of iPads and VR goggles, where teams transmit their answers on the spot using the smart devices. The hospital crew replies with ‘live feedback’, before teams can move on to the next level.

Another notable mention is how the mission is split into two parts, where teams will be ushered in a ‘Travel Pod’ and continue part 2 of the mission at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

Let your little docs put on their thinking hats, exercise their problem-solving skills, and work co-operatively with others.
