"Mistreating people"

I took my young child to the Broome hospital recently one afternoon. I had taken my child to the Broome hospital to get checked up, they had some sore on their hands so I recall a clinician said they wanted to give them a needle in their butt. My child wanted to take the needle but didn't realise it was going to be on the bum as the other antibiotics they had given them wasn't working.

So they tried to give my child the needle, they were scared at first & then I recall two staff members came & held them down. The first time the clinician didn't finish putting the medicine in, I believe they pulled the needle out too quick. So the other clinician said what are they doing, I believe they didn't realise there was still some antibiotic in the needle, so my child got scared again.

My child was very traumatised from where I was standing shaking and I told the clinician they do this all the time. I recall the clinician was saying to my child that they were going to leave my child there & let the other staff hold them down.

My child kept begging & crying to the staff not to give them the needle as they were scared. The clinician had called in the security guards and I felt one of them grabbed my child with force & I believe slammed them on the hospital bed & it seemed to me was holding my child by their head/neck while two other staff members were there and another security guard there as well.

My child was screaming they couldn't breathe & that they were hurting them so I refused to finish off the staff giving my child the antibiotics. I felt that they were hurting my child using excessive force. There was no duty of care for my child in my opinion.
