Newborn Baby Becomes Weak & Unresponsive! | GPs: Behind Closed Doors | Channel 5 

I just love watching on RU-vid but truly wish I could see the full episodes as well. Unfortunately, tis not possible to do so here in the U.S.

During the very difficult time of my mother's descent into Alzheimer's, and her subsequent death three years ago, I was hitting the bottle to the extent that I twice visited my GP surgery to express my concern and perhaps referral to an alcohol addiction centre. The first doctor (male) seemed to find the situation amusing and told me I should see how far worse other people were who came to him. He did offer some literature, but was really quite dismissive about the effectiveness of the places I could go, as well as implying I was just being a big girl's blouse. The second time, I saw another GP (female) who was far more engaged and sympathetic, pointing out that alcohol and the fluoxetine I daily take conflicted with the other. She too gave me some local addresses of voluntary centres which might help. Neither suggested I come back at some point as a follow-up. All I am saying is that it took courage for me to visit a GP about this matter, and that their responses were interesting in how they approached it. And, yes, I still drink. Robert, UK.

Exactly, that’s a sign of strength in itself. Accepting that you have an addiction is difficult enough, but actually acting on it is better still.

@@2eleven48 you're doing the doctors a service calling their responses " interesting"...I would be calling them useless!

@@lazylolo611 the average Joe could have told him what these doctors did.. he's still drinking, so seeing a doc was a waste of his time.

@Aug 99 in your opinion

@Aug 99 that’s doesn’t make sense, people can believe what they want it’s called religion

Unless you’re Harold Shipman

Find another pediatrician immediately.

They do extra for cameras I've noticed that.

@@connieleamon4742 This is Nhs!

@@pam164 the doctors at the clinic I used to go to were all like this, I.e very caring without the cameras.

@@whatever-ou2he You were very lucky!

😂😂 I was all serious until the last line

He's just checking in on the mum as she gave birth literally 11 days ago. By bringing her up he gives the dad the opportunity to say "well she's a bit unwell too" ect. He's not asking why she's not the one there, but what her condition is.

unless the birth is registered and the dads name on the certificate he has ZERO legal right to the baby

Because the baby is exclusively breastfed. The food source is at home... so any deterioration means mum needs to go in too. Also, the dad isn't registered under health as the parent until a while later.

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 it was definitely more that way in the past. Fortunately that's not really the case anymore also fathers can also ask to be placed on birth certificate at anytime though the mum has to agree or the father has to have proof in form of a DNA test.

Exactly. I thought he was going to fall over when he was leaving. He could come off of the Morphine with DBS or perhaps Botox.

Are you in the right state of mind @Random Nessi.

@@CP-qn3tu obviously not...

Oh my this wasn’t filmed a week ago so no that baby probably doesn’t have covid

It will have begin filmed before Corona virus some maybe filmed a year in advance

@@steuk6510 even if it was the baby could actually be dying and all he says is corona!

Yea they do that on purpose but tbh this one isn’t rlly click bait

@@bongowrld I mean they were suggesting it was dead 😂

Half dead lol

True. My gp always seems to be in a hurry and doesn't let me complete the symptoms I suffer. Shame!!!

What surgery did you have? I have lost some hearing

@@Hellylou they put titanium in my ear. They took out the 3 little hearing bones and replaced it with titanium. I have nearly regained full hearing it does take another 2 years to fully heal. Hope your coping okay its really hard to deal with.

Responsiveness is scale

He was less responsive than normal.

@@junbh2 still not unresponsive as that would be an emergency, I did like the doctor explaining what emergency symptoms to watch out for

I agree. Unresponsive is a serious thing, as ex-ambulance it's an immediate response. Less responsive than usual is the better description

You have to hold the back of there necks so it supports the head

I have multiple chronic conditions and I am in constant pain. I can barely move most days and I am only 18. I have been referred to the pain team but we have been on the list for a year at least. Sometimes it’s my knees, my back, my shoulders, stomach. I have seizures when I am in extreme pain and they had to give me morphine in hospital to settle my stomach pains. My mum and I have kinda just given up and it’s sad because I’m 18 but I can’t do anything.

@@megsmith6758 Not sure what you have but it reminded of Jordan Petersons Daughter Who has an autoimmune disease.She had to have joints replaced and was very sick.She changed to a meat only diet and her symptoms went away.Sorry for your pain and I hope you get the the bottom of it.

All properly trained qualified medical professionals are trained to observe their patirnts unobtruscively what help would it be to patients already in distress see doctors nurses and other health professionals break down and run away leaving thepatients of course these medicl professionals empathise with their patients but its not a comedy situation theyre

Its called white privilege, middle class white parents get the privilege to be open drug addicts without social removing their children, instead get offered support. The same with the women they get support for post natal depression but black mothers get sectioned and lose their children.

@@Jstar697 not if you have decent health professionals they should all be referred as appropriate and helped as required. I have seen both white and other nationalities have children removed from care, some of whom from our short interaction you would wonder why, but the child services have much more information and history to go on to make those decisions. I have also seen people keep Thier child and you wonder why, just document interactions.

@@Jstar697 Maybe in some parts of America that happens. In the UK that would be very rare to happen. And, you dont' think there are middle class black people too?

'Untesponsive' doesn't mean dead. It just means they're not responding to outside actions in the way they would e expected to.

true, but that was a sweet baby.

@@rsmith6366 no that would be decreased responsiveness or less responsive. Unresponsive is altered conscious level to point not responding to environment and possibly passed out, not necessarily deceased, but very unwell.

Yes we do.

My doctors have always asked if there’s anything else I need while I’m there.

I have the loveliest doctor that has so much time for everyone, she even gives me a big hug when I leave her room. There’s plenty of lovely doctors, some of them are just really overworked and are put on time constraints.

My doctor always asks this

@@buffya8012 I think its a lottery of where one lives......busy or not busy male or female, etc etc lucky or not lucky...Iam now 63...I have seen a few docs in this time....when I was younger there was less stress, now I find docs are overwhelmed with shear voloume.....so thats why i am not so positive.

@@busybee9674 you’re probably right,unfortunately

The baby was less responsive than usual, which is a concern.

Partner in the medical practice

i think this was filmed before the outbreak because they would’ve social distanced and wore masks

Not every cough/illness is Covid...other illnesses still exist. Plus, like the other commenter said this was probably filmed way before Covid

Oh okay

OK doc

If you insist🙄

If you want him dead 🙄

@@buffya8012 clearly u haven’t done your research 🧐

What's cover19 ?

@@onetwo6806are you living under a rock

@@VolakFN Its Covid19 not Cover19 hence his comment

Fortnite kid

This was filmed way before Covid...

Probably recovering coz of the delivery.

The dad said she at home if you listened

Joy Reacts at home .... 2:18

@@hibaada376 the baby is 11 days old unless mum had a c section she should be back to normal

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 It took me 3 months to feel normal after my emergency c section. I laboured for 3 days before. My incision also opened and got infected having to be packed for 6 weeks. Getting in and out of bed and even a car was agony for weeks i had to sleep sitting up for 5 weeks because it was agony to pull myself up. You don't realise how much you take using your stomach muscles for granted until they're all cut open 🙃. I recovered from my 2nd csection within 2-3 weeks. Not everyone is able to get up and do normal things 11 days after delivery, props to the dad if he offered her to stay and rest. My partner would have done the same, but some don't. My friend had an episiotomy and it took her 4 weeks to recover. The age of the baby doesn't make a difference in recovery time, 11 days is still very soon after a birth.

Brestfeeding 'on demand' is the best for your baby, and 10 times is definitely not too much. Babies are different, also feeding times may vary.

@@Emilia-fx9tc no baby has the right to be fed 24/7 all they need is one feed every 4 hours in the day and one dream feed at night

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 that’s ridiculous.

@@adelemurphy7681 why? My sister was born 6 weeks early i was slerping 12 hours with no feeds at 3 weeks old

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 it's totally normal for babies to wake up during the night and require food, only our society likes to belive that newborns should sleep through the night. I would be worried if a 3 week old baby wouldn't wake up for 12 hours straight. Were you bottle fed? That might resolve the mistery, it's common to overfeed while bottle feeding, hence babies sleep longer.

I'm a mother of six and never would I let my newborn go to the doctors without me

Maybe because she hasn't made that baby alone, so it's normal to send daddy with it to the doctor. A mum's place is in the boardroom, not at the GP with a baby ;)

She may be at home recovering from major abdominal surgery (a c-section).

@@juliefleming7126 What if she bleed bad after birth? What if she had major complications? If someone doesn’t trust the bio father to take their newborn to the doctor alone then they shouldn’t be with them period but that’s just my opinion. I wouldn’t trust my sons bio dad to take him to the doctor even now at 4 and that’s why I’m lucky he wants nothing to do with him.

Why is this question here???

rare

Not old enough and not likely

None, because they don’t receive any until they are 8 weeks old!!!

Ummm... none, not really a considered or relevant comment 🙄

@PRED4TOR85 - so what was your point exactly. Are you an anti-vaxer conspiracy theorist? So, as others have said, babies aren’t routinely vaccinated until 8 weeks. So what is your reply?

They've had Hep B and vitamin K shots, so 2. Bub could just have a little nasal cold

@@OddlyElly Hep B is given at 8 weeks in the UK and Vitamin K is, well, a vitamin and therefore not a vaccine. The only vaccine they may have had if in a high risk group is BCG.

Why does there have to be a mother I think he's doing great also if you know the dad you would know hes a amazing German violinist the Mother if you listened is at home probabaly recovering from her pregnancy theres obviously a reason she stayed at home

Dads are parents too. They can take their children to the doctor just as easily as mum.

11 days post partum,she's probably at home unable to do much and dad was in better physical shape to take him,what's the big deal?

Plus they have two other children! He's German, nothing off with his behaviour at all.
