That young mum is one strong young lady ❤ and of course I’ve got to be proud of the Aussie doc as an Aussie myself! She showed so much care, not just other tiny patient, but to his family.
If he and his mom had been in the US, she'd have had crippling bills for the rest of her life and the child would've been uninsurable for the rest of his.
Josiah’s baby is so very adorable and my goodness what a tough little fighter he is, I’m also very proud of him! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻I applaud the Doctors and staff of Kings E.R. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dr Ndaba is so lovely. I can relate to his story. I'm living in Australia and hadn't seen my dad in Britain since 2012. He suddenly died in 2019 from an AAA. 😢
Amazing the girls who accompanied the young man absolutely fantastic how you showed compassion for another human being kudos to you for your compassion 🤩🤩🤩🤩🎉🎉🎉
I thought the same, but then she mentioned she was on the phone with his ex-wife, aka her mother? And that was the reason she needed to ask. That's what I'm hoping, ne'ways.
Bless them! I’m so very fortunate that my husband wanted my Mom & Dad to move in if needed it was my Dad my Mom passed first, we were Blessed with him until Oct of 2022. It was well known how close we all were. Prayers for all. ❤️🙏🏼🫶🏻
My mother is 82 and I have been caring for her for a while.. But recently she has gotten new illnesses and beginning of Dementia. So sad. My mother has always been very independent and the care giver…
@@Grace1957- agreed! I was a medic in the army, and everytime we got a newbie, they were told “ say the q word at work, and youll deal with the chaos by yourself”. 🤣
Why did Tracey ask permission to bring her dad home and then say only for one day, thank you! Your dad needs help, she shouldnt have to ask permission!
Is there no postnatal care there that would MONITOR that child in a compulsory manner that missed him being so critically underweight and unwell? By the time my daughter was 3months she had 14 doctors visits in hospital (3 times a day for almost 5 days fully) 2 days after home 7 days after home, 14 days after home, 1 month, 2 month (because she was barely underweight) and 3 Months. I’m completely BAFFLED how no one caught this earlier.
Came here to say the same thing. How was Jaziah's heart condition missed by the pediatricians at birth and then at well baby checks in the 3 months before he was rushed to hospital?
It’s her first time being a mum and they might not have the same access to healthcare as others. Especially if they both work. No one is a fault but it’s great that they found it. Babies can hide things.
I was thinking the same. I live in the US, and before you leave the hospital, they verify that you have a pediatrician set up for your baby's wellness visits. It just amazes that this baby is so underweight. If this mom was taking her child to a doctor, I hope she doesn't use that doctor anymore because the ball was certainly dropped by medical staff that saw him prior to this for this little one.
The tugs on that bub are scary. My 5mo had them - nurse brought a student nurse in. "Have a look at this. You see this in a baby you have a few hours to get help. You see this in an adult you've got minutes before they're gone" Great to say in front of the mother. She was flown out later that day to the specialist child hospital.
I just don't understand. A three month old baby should weigh more than 8 pounds. No mention that he was a premature either. And why did the mum wait so long to bring her baby to the hospital. Lots of questions no answers.
My twenty month old baby with congenital heart disease weighed 6 kilograms. At 3 weeks old the local baby clinic referred her back to her birth hospital (the Johannesburg General in South Africa) as a failure to thrive baby. She was diagnosed with a complicated heart issue. The doctors told us that at birth the various chambers of the heart and blood vessels often had different beats and it would take a little while to settle down into the normal lub dub sounds. Perhaps this was why the diagnosis was delayed.
First of all, my family almost lost my youngest sibling to spinal meningitis in the first 3 days of life. The parents were both PhD's, both wealthy, responsible adults;. My sibling had been home less than 48 hours.. and if the grandfather hadn't been a doctor for over 50 yrs, my sibling would have been dead by morning. My stepmother had scarcely put my sibling down at that point. And yet my sibling was hours from death. Secondly, I don't know if you realize how deceptive Infant clothing sizes can be. I'd bet that child was in a 2-4 month size, bcz both my ravenous, colicky beasts ( born at 3.6 kg & 3.1 kg) were in 9-12 month size hand-me-downs at 3 months,. And the 3.6 kg beast gave me my 3 & 1/2 yr old grandchild is a 6-T., who is a size 6T, while I was a 6-T in first grade. That mother is already devastated. Is it really your place to pour salt into a 19 year old mom's wounds? How about You do better, Crystal
They've said it before in other episodes. Kids/babies can seem fine or just slightly unwell and then go downhill very fast. Baby was either a preemie or primary care missed something
What a judgemental comment! You have just seen a few minutes of their lives in a short tv show. You know nothing of their real lives and how the baby and Mum are normally. The mum is very young and it's her first baby. She obviously needs more support too.
@@sarahu5217 You can call me jugemental as much as you want, but the little we have seen already rings major alarm bells for me. Unfortunatly I recognize many of the patterns from my own experience with the neglectful, abusive narcissts I refuse to consider family anymore. I guess you have to have experienced it, but the portions with her in it send shivers down my spine

Jacqui is one of my favourites along with Liz and Faris. I’ve watched FAR too many of these 😅
For sure. I would NEVER be able to deal with that kind of work. Some hero stuff right there.
The comparison between parent with child, and child becoming a parent is very meaningful.
Seeing that baby suffering and at the brink of death, made me weep. It hurt me to my core to see that. I am so glad he lived.
If he and his mom had been in the US, she'd have had crippling bills for the rest of her life and the child would've been uninsurable for the rest of his.
Baby Jaziah's mother is wonderful. And he is an absolute doll!
I love seeing the bond between Ronald and his daughter.
Josiah’s baby is so very adorable and my goodness what a tough little fighter he is, I’m also very proud of him! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻I applaud the Doctors and staff of Kings E.R. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Who's Josiah?

Such a beautiful baby boy. So agonizing for a mom.🙏🏼
Dr Ndaba is so lovely. I can relate to his story. I'm living in Australia and hadn't seen my dad in Britain since 2012. He suddenly died in 2019 from an AAA. 😢
I'm really sorry for your loss!
He is a lovely man. I was just watching and thinking that same thing.
I am so sorry. I hope you can feel his love from Heaven. My dad is up there, too.
Dr. Ndaba is great!! He needs to keep doing what he’s doing 😊
Those babies tugged on my heart strings. so glad the are ok
Dr. Ndaba has very kind eyes and a compassionate heart.
Just shows the bond between a mother , father and children goes on for life,Treasure each memory!
Jesiah is such a darling baby. His Parents are lovely.
Jaziah's mom got him to the hospital- that's not "nothing"!
Goodness this episode was emotional 🥹
Amazing the girls who accompanied the young man absolutely fantastic how you showed compassion for another human being kudos to you for your compassion 🤩🤩🤩🤩🎉🎉🎉
Yay Australian doctor! So nice to see a fellow Aussie
The baby is so precious!
How beautiful it is to save lives. Looking at this video makes me emotional,more specifically josiah he makes me emotional.
That baby is absolutely adorable
33:28- Is she asking permission from her husband to take her dad to their home?
"Could I? Could I? Thank you."
I thought the same, but then she mentioned she was on the phone with his ex-wife, aka her mother? And that was the reason she needed to ask. That's what I'm hoping, ne'ways.
@@blackberrymidnight: Thanks! I hope so, too.

She did actually. Then afterwards she rang her mum, his ex
@@strawberrysoymilkshake Oh serious? I can't imagine my husband declining and my father's ex wife says yes. That's extra horrifying.
I love the care the patients get in hospital. How did the three n a half month old baby get? Did he recover from the surgery?
Agree …..very proud of our Aussie doctor. 😍🇦🇺🙏
My mother is 82 and I have been caring for her for a while.. But recently she has gotten new illnesses and beginning of Dementia. So sad. My mother has always been very independent and the care giver…
I took care of my grandma and it is sad, praying for strength. Take care
Okay, is it just me, or is Ndaba possibly the most handsome man on the planet?
Not the most handsome, but he is certainly a very handsome man❤
Not allowed to say the Q word in the nursing home either. 😂 All the buzzers go off at once.
I feel for the baby's mom. My own son was diagnosed with leukemia at 3 1/2 months.
Oh, little J is so cute. I couldn't bear it if he hadn't come out alright.
Thanks so much
We need Dr. Ndaba in South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏 ❤
Studied Medicine in Australia, that's interesting. What a lovely young man.
The things doctors and nurses have to put up with, giddy young people, parading around proud of their antics!
i cant"t even imagine what the parents of the wee one must be going thru seeing what he is going thru.
Oh nooo!!! NEVER say quiet in a hospital/er!!! You just jinxed them. Probably be the busiest day on record there now.😅
1:55- Ha! That's the title of this episode.
I worked in healthcare for 20 years,recently retired and I still can't say the Q word. Old habits die hard!
@@Grace1957- agreed! I was a medic in the army, and everytime we got a newbie, they were told “ say the q word at work, and youll deal with the chaos by yourself”. 🤣
Why did Tracey ask permission to bring her dad home and then say only for one day, thank you! Your dad needs help, she shouldnt have to ask permission!
It wasn’t about “permission”, it’s about mutual respect in their marriage and both parties knowing and agreeing on what is happening.
He must have seen a doctor every month for vaccinations. Didn't the doctor do weight and length and head circumference at those visits?
Wow, Allen/Alan sure got right back up on that "horse"!!!

Babies usually get checked monthly until they are a year old. Dr's missed something big time.
In Iowa babies are monitored and I was amazed by the number of "failure to thrive" babies.
Ah, bless 'em all.
The tugs on that bub are scary. My 5mo had them - nurse brought a student nurse in.
"Have a look at this. You see this in a baby you have a few hours to get help. You see this in an adult you've got minutes before they're gone"

Love Dr. Ndaba
Why does the red phone have to ring 5 times first?
29:40 I would laugh if this was my mum and the word was 'preliminary' because she could never say it.
81 year old Ronald has a fine head of hair
I just don't understand. A three month old baby should weigh more than 8 pounds. No mention that he was a premature either. And why did the mum wait so long to bring her baby to the hospital. Lots of questions no answers.
He should have already been in the hospital well before this time. Of course we don't know.
He has a heart condition. This is probably the reason he was so small.
I was 8lbs at birth. 😂 Big ol baby.
My twenty month old baby with congenital heart disease weighed 6 kilograms. At 3 weeks old the local baby clinic referred her back to her birth hospital (the Johannesburg General in South Africa) as a failure to thrive baby. She was diagnosed with a complicated heart issue.

Perhaps this was why the diagnosis was delayed.
My firstborn was underweight until I supplemented with formula. Had to supplement her brother as well.
My mom had to do the same thing with me. Her breast milk wasn’t fatty enough.
"The "Q" Word" S02E12
That baby was in trouble for awhile and mom ..u need to pay attention! Do better mom
What about dad or the follow up dr care? Relatives too. Clearly it wasn’t obvious or happened fast.
