Here in the UK, it just would not happen. There is no way a General Practitioner would treat that wound either at home, or in his surgery. They would refer you to A and E (the ER) immediately.Imsorrybut wrote:My husband works in the medical field (he's a surgical tech) and I explained the situation to him. He said putting Staples in wouldn't need to be a sterile environment and the staple guns are one time use so its not exactly odd he had one to bring over.
I told him he was crazy of course, lol.
He DID agree the house call was odd and they should've went to an ER.
Anyone else work in the medical field and can agree or disagree with my husband?
I'm not even upset with doctor.
I just cannot imagine leaving my child for another country less than 24 hrs later and filming them crying as they get Staples in their head

A completely sterile environment is not required for suturing a wound like that, and he has prescribed antibiotic cover. A tetanus vaccination wouldn’t be required if her vaccinations are up to date. Dr Mumford did appear to know what he was doing, and presumably knows what he is about. He seems like a genuine guy, who is probably being taken advantage of by these idiots.
HOWEVER...there were several things which concerned me about the whole thing. Indie was so quiet during the whole procedure, that it was worrying. The short glimpse of her face, revealed a very drowsy child. She certainly seemed like a very sleepy little girl. That would have worried me deeply as a medical professional...unless of course, I knew she’d been given something. The doctor clearly expected her to react when she was getting the staples - he said as much, when he was telling Ashley and Hugsy to hold her. I have however seen that reaction to pain, in my own daughter who has Asperger Syndrome, when she was little - before her diagnosis. The A and E staff thought it so unusual, they kept her under observation for several hours.
Furthermore, this little girl absolutely needed xrays and a scan. I do wonder however, if there is more to the story than we’ve been told and she was sent for further tests, but they haven’t included it in the vlog, to play it down. I mean, I simply cannot believe that any doctor wouldn’t have done that. As far as letting her fly was concerned - well, I simply believe that they didn’t tell the truth to the doctor, about the nature of the wound. That was a deep wound, for a tiny little girl. It was right down to her skull. It should not have been dealt with the way it was.
These idiots are selfish, immature, despicable parents. That little soul must have been in agony. Getting on a flight with her was a huge risk and I’m surprised the airline permitted it!
