Going to Hospital with Mother

Going to Hospital with Mother is a classic film by James Robertson, contrasting with 'A Two-year-old Goes to Hospital'. Sally, aged 17 months, is in hospital for five days to have a minor operation; mother stays with her to prevent the distress of separation and to help in her care.

Secure in the presence of her mother, Sally survives examinations and hurt without becoming depressed and withdrawn as unaccompanied patients often do, and at the end of their stay is as lively and cheerful as at the beginning.

The arrangement is shown to be practical, and of benefit not only to the young patient and her mother but also to the medical and nursing staff whose experience is enriched by dealing with child and mother together. This classic production was filmed by James Robertson in 1958.
