The baby went to the hospital - the situation is not the samenice for mom. And if the matter is serious, the child is saved by the life, and in general they do something not quite clear to you, and they ask you to go out and even get kicked out? What to do with it? Leave the most precious thing you have - a son or a daughter - alone with the doctors, and let your heart explode from ignorance, what happens behind a closed door? For many women, this choice is tantamount to the torments of hell.

“We can do it without you!”
“My daughter’s temperature didn’t go down for a week,”says the mother of 3-year-old Stefania. - Nothing helped, I had to go to the hospital. The doctors said that while they were puncturing the child's vein and inserting the IV, I had to leave the ward. Stesha got scared and started crying, but the doctors were adamant. As a result, I spent 10 minutes outside the door, and my daughter was struggling and screaming: "Mom!" Then they let me in, but Stesha couldn't calm down for a long time, she cried. After that, the baby was silent from stress all day and didn't talk..." Elena Nikolaeva, lawyer:
Such actions by doctors are illegal,the parent has the right to be near the child when he is given a dropper, take blood, carry out procedures, dressings and prepare for surgery. Age does not matter. But note that from the age of 15 a teenager himself has the right to decide whether he will go alone with the procedure or with his mother. According to the law, one of the parents, another family member or other legal representative is entitled to stay with the child in a medical facility for inpatient care during the entire period of treatment. Law: Federal Law No. 323 of 21.11.2011 Citizens' Health in the Russian Federation ”, paragraph 10, part 5 of article 19 establishes the patient’s right to have a lawyer or legal representative admit to him. The right to be together with the child is enshrined in paragraph 3 of Article 51 of the same law. The parental obligation to protect the rights of children in relations with any natural and legal persons (including doctors) is enshrined in Article 64 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation.Finding yourself in a situation where you are asked to leavefrom the ward, voice your rights. If this is not enough, contact the head physician or the head of the department - most likely, the conflict will be resolved at this stage.
"Adults have nothing to do in the procedural!"
“I recently brought my son to donate bloodclinic, - complains Sveta. - The nurse was very rude, she started scolding me for entering the office with a child: supposedly they forbade it and there was an order. And indeed, there was a piece of paper hanging on the door to the procedure room, where it was written in large letters that parents were not allowed to enter."This situation is also illegal, and again the mainThe argument here is that the mother is the legal representative of her child. She defends his interests and agrees to medical interventions. Any arguments of the medical staff about the internal rules of the institution, when the mother is expecting a child outside the door of the treatment room, are untenable. Local acts of medical institutions should not contradict the current legislation and limit the rights of patients. Law: Article 64 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation.

"There are no places for moms in the hospital!"
“My friend wanted to go to the hospital together with"5-year-old son," Veronica writes on the forum. "But she was refused, saying that the boy was over 4 years old and could take care of himself. As a result, the child lay alone in the ward for a week, they gave him injections every day, and the parents were not even allowed to visit him!" It is difficult to imagine what the poor boy experienced during these days in almost prison conditions. And it is absolutely impossible to understand whether anyone really believes that a 5-year-old child is an adult, capable of being without his mother for a whole week, surrounded by strangers and rude people, without harm to the psyche? And if such monstrous situations are rare in hospitals, then getting to the intensive care unit to see a child today is really difficult.If a boy or girl is over 4 years old and theyable to serve themselves, parents can still be with their children, but for food and a bed for an adult can be charged. As for resuscitation, you can stay there with your child, but you will not be given a separate place. That is, you can sit next to the chair and change with the second parent. In intensive care units and intensive care while invasive procedures are performed in the ward (incubation of the trachea, catheterization of vessels, dressings, etc.), relatives may be asked to leave for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Law: this case is regulated by the same article 51 of the Federal Law № 323 "On the basis of health protection of citizens in the Russian Federation."
