Parents are always concerned when their child needs an operation and an anesthetic.
Many would prefer to suffer pain themselves, rather than see their child hurt. At The Scarborough Hospital we try to make the process as painless as possible for everyone. We realise that pain and needles are only one of the things which upsets children and their parents when they have to come to hospital, and we are working to reduce the stress and discomfort as much as possible. We are developing a similar program for the General site.
