- A boy’s heart nearly stops beating, but putting him on a heart bypass machine involves deadly consequences. In the Children’s ICU, every second is crucial, and a snap decision makes the difference between life and death.
About the show: Channel NewsAsia was given unprecedented access into the children's ICU at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore.
This five-part series documents life inside the children’s ICU - the daily struggle of children as young as three years old who have to fight for their lives; the emotional turmoil this elicits in their parents, and the men and women in white who stoically wage wars against life-threatening diseases so these children can grow up.

I like how they call the doctors and nurses uncles and aunties.
They do that here in Hawaii too(I'm in Honolulu)
Teachers too
I feel bad for the children. My biggest korean cousin was born with a sickness that he can’t move or speak
Same with Indonesia
It’s an asian thing i think bc we do it too
It's tradition in most Asian countries to call older people in the age of the parents ayi (auntie) or shushu (uncle), younger children meimei (younger sister) oder didi (younger brother), older children gege (older brother) or jiejie (older sister) and people much older yeye (grandpa) or nainai (grandma). (I only know the Chinese words). It's a really nice way to talk to each other. At least I found it very nice in China.
Just realized how ungrateful I am. God bless them ❤️
Me too, I am so sad for these babies and their families.
Same here. 💙💚
For people who are still seeing this after two years, practicing gratitude is important. Remember what you are thankful for. It’s also important not to invalidate your own feeling and hardships just because others “have it worse.” The way you feel and the challenges you face are still valid.
Same, we take things for granted so easily without even knowing until we realize
I feel so sad for the families and babies and kids
These parents are so strong.. I wish all the children in the world good health & happiness..
The hardest thing to see is good kids fighting for life in hospital and only left bad kids outside freely bullying people and animals.

Before this video I wanted to become a doctor for my parents because that is their wish. But after watching this video I want to become an doctor to save children like those.
ramar ramya I believe in you!!
I pray you do well in school
May God bless you heart, hands and head
Same here ramar ramya
TBH depends on grades
@@shyowo5029 it's not all about grades...
When the mom said “Endure Marcus” I lost it.
I have a 3 month old and this was absolutely heartbreaking for me to watch. I pray to whoever is up there that my baby never gets so sick.
breanna think positively, pray to have a healthy child , not a 'not sick child'.
Because the more you think about the negative possibilities,the more you attract them.
Bless you and you're baby :)
I have a 7 week old and within the first 4 mins i was already crying 😭
Same x
there's Jesus up there :) u can surely pray
@@reggieshmeggie4219 you don't cause bad things, especially like a child becoming ill, to happen with negative thinking. You can certainly affect the way you respond to and deal with bad things if your thinking isn't positive, but you don't "attract" misfortunes like that.
I used to be a nurse in the PEDIATRIC ICU ..... this is the usual drama that we see and its really heartbreaking but we need to be strong 😢😢😢😢
Thank you very much for your service,
I was 2 months early as a baby and then when I was 5 years old I got a malignant tumor and needed to be flown to my local childrens hospital.
Thanks to doctors and nurses like you I was able to survive
I'm a nurse in the outpatient oncology setting and I look at you pediatric nurses as literal superheroes. Thank you for doing such a hard job! I hope you're well!
My daughter spent over a month in ICU as a 2 month old baby... she had open heart surgery and she is almost 2 and thriving now 💗 the doctors and nurses in ICU are heroes
good! Lets hope that she keeps thriving and she grows up to live a happy life!
I feel so sorry for those kids they have to go through this at such a young age...😭😭😭😭
Ya really heart breaking to see them in this critical stage.
Watching the little girl at the end breaks your heart. No kid that age should have to say goodbye to their sister. :( :(
She is 10 now . I hope she has recovered from the grief. Her sister may not be next to her physically but Xin Lin is still in her memories
That one made me cry. Poor baby girls 🥺
The last part broke my heart
Ghab Tan oh....a comedian 😒
@@pommiebears I understand how depressing this situation looks, However I just wanted to you know add that 0.01% pinch of Comedy to complete this Sad-To-Happy or Happy-To-Sad situation.
Ghab Tan but....it wasn’t funny. If you’re to use humour, to lessen the blow of watching children die (how that works, I don’t see), then make it comical at least. But.....I take your comment as it is intended. Harmless. Thank you 🙏
I'm actually working as an intensive care unit nurse.. One of the most heart breaking moment is performing postmortem care.
@@francisjoseph4959 actually true.
Why did I click on this. So heartbreaking to see all these babies suffering 😢😢😢. I’m gonna go hug my child now.
That what I was thinking. This video has drained my tears 😭
Desi Eka 😢
My daughter had a seizure due to very high fever when she was 1yo. It wasn't very good memory to have, the most horrible one hour moment in my entire life. I can't imagine how does it feel to be parents like them. So strong
Desi Eka I’m sorry you went through that. Must have been terrifying. Let’s cherish that our daughters are healthy and not take any day with them for granted. Best wishes to you.
These videos remind me that I shouldn't take my children for granted and to be more patient with them
Same x
Salute n respect to all healthcare professionals!!
💪💪
Yes cheers to the health-care workers
For me this just shows how much as mother loves their children..never forget that and suddenly abandoned them when they got older..because they would never abandoned you too..peace
Amen
I'm here procrastinating and not studying for my cell and molecular bio exam tomorrow because I have been really exhausted and mentally not in good condition but after seeing these children, I have decided on this day to study well to become a pediatrician in the future.
I hope you achieve your dream. The children will be so glad that there is a person going to be a doctor to help them in the future.
I cried while watching this... And, good journalism isn't dead.
I've been hospitalized before and I cried like a baby when the nurse put the needle on my hand. I can't even imagine how hard it must be for these babies to have all those cables, tubes, and machines stucked to their bodies. They supposed to play and have fun in their age😭
Weirdly enough, the IV I got while at the hospital hurt more than the actual incision in my neck when I got surgery for an infected lymph node. Perhaps it has to do with the heavy antibiotics I recieved. Also, I got it in my wrist, which was the worst decision ever. If anyone is reading this, avoid getting an IV in your wrist. Get it in the crook of your arm instead!
@@grylltheonion surprisingly I like IV in my wrist then my arm. It hurts more but I feel like I can use my hand and arm without the risk of the IV in my arm slipping or moving down
Yeah, we're lucky we didn't end up like this. I just hope that the hospitalized children of today go through with their journey well.
I can relate to this so much, I was in and out of the ICU my entire childhood due to a very rare kidney and liver disease and had 2 kidney transplants before the age of 17 and many other complications, I'm lucky that I don't really remember any of it, but if My Mom and Dad went through anything like these parents are right now than I need to call them in the morning and make sure I tell them how much I love them, I tell them all the time but I've never wanted to more than after seeing this.
eee sounds bad but glad to know that ur doing well!
1:59 she has a great speaking voice. super clear and relaxing
First!
The strength of Marcus mom is astronomical I sit here crying and couldn't imagine being that strong
I don’t know how how or why I stumbled upon this recommended video, I can’t stop crying 😭 😭 😭
Akosuagh1 it might help if you watched the previous videos in the series it will help you understand what is happening to the children
I regretted very much I didn’t study hard enough to be a doctor. I wish I could help them too. 😢
Love can help enough
You don't have to be a doctor to help. Proper heart for listening to someone who needs is a very powerful thing as well :)
It’s never too late
same
You can study to become a nurse
This people are angels who are here to help the innocent. I'm always so thankful for the medical staff who work with children. You guys are amazing!
It is already sad to see an adult patient on ICU with so many equipment and medicine to support the life, but it is a heartbreaking to see the kids patient with it.
13:09 - I know the average viewer will have no clue what’s going on there, but the nurse or respiratory therapist is doing nasotrachael suctioning. I had to learn to perform it because my best friend/little “sister” was on a vent for the second half of her life. When learning, I was told pointblank that it’s one of the most painful things you can do a fully conscious patient. That’s why he’s so agitated during it- it hurts horribly.
I’ve had a tube passed through my nose into my esophagus and I was in tears of pain during the entire procedure (and it takes a lot to make me cry in pain). I can only imagine how much worse the pain is when you add suction to the process.
I'm 5 minutes in and I'm shaking and crying for Marcus and Aulia (Hope I Spelt Correctly).
I couldn’t have been a PICU nurse. Your heart strings are pulled everyday with every child. Wondering why this child has a perianal split that could become infected.
Anything that involves children especially, is very difficult to watch without tears running down my face 😢
🥺🥺 poor lil angel her talk with grandpa and her tears started dropping broke me.
😢😢😢😭😭😭💔💔💔 I have 4 little ones and this breaks my heart! I wish these children the best in life!
i’m 8 minutes i’m and already so stressed out lmao god bless these doctors. i could never put myself under that much stress 😓
I just realised I could never be a paediatric nurse ☹️😭💔🙏🏻
saadgi shimaz cuz it's too emotionally stressful. Watching all those suffering kids, having to tell the parents that their kids are gonna die. Some people cannot handle that.
Me too , i´m a nurse assistant and i was starting the nurse education last year ( had to take a little stop now because of health problems ..) i will start next year again :) I love my job but i could never work as a paediatric nurse i think .
You honestly become numb to it. I use to be emotional but after a month of working at a hospital and seeing people die everyday death is a very normal thing.
@@Yesyes-vj3cn omg I would really never be able to handle that but it’s just so sad that so many people die knowing that they aren’t statistics but actual people
I can't imagine how scared the little kids must be feeling. I was hospitalized at the age of 14 due to a severe case of pneumonia. I was taken to the ER after 4-5 days of being extremely ill. I remember the night before i was taken to the ER i layed on my bed sobbing, and praying to God to please not take me yet. I spent a couple of hours in the emergency room, before being taken on an ambulance. I was extremely uncomfortable with so many wires and needles all over my body. I was absolutely terrified. The feeling of you not being able to breathe, seeing nurses come in and out of your room, and poke needles all over your body. It was truly a very scary experience but really inspired me to help children like this. May God bless them and their families 💜
watching this made me realize how much the majority of us, including me, take having a “normal” life for granted. It’s literally a HUGE blessing and it still feels not enough even though it is. It just makes me sad that innocent little babies go through such pain and they don’t understand why so it makes it even more scary for them. I would SO take their place if I could, I really would.
Having gone through a similar experience in a nearby country, I really feel for how scared these kids must feel. I pray that they are all able to recover both physically and emotionally. I also pray for the parents of these children, that they can recover from the terror this type of hospital stay causes.
I honestly cried seeing the elder sister cry beside Mei Mei. That broke me more than anything.
I know what it feels like to be in critical condition several times and to actually be dying. Watching these episodes just brings back memories of being in icu as a kid and even as an adult. I have a stuffed animal now that i have to have with me in the hospital or i have panic attacks. Poor children that have to go through this.
I want to be a pediatric surgeon and every time I see a kid with an illness I tell myself I will make a change in someone's life
Omg, I don’t know what made me watch this but I am now crying uncontrollably. I look at my kids and can’t help but sob. My heart goes out to them, what a tremendous pain 🙏🏻
The ending was so sad. Making the decision to let your child go has to be the hardest thing on earth. I couldn’t help but cry, knowing these parents’ hearts are going to break. 😢
The little girl got better and went home but there not sure how much longer she has
@@deannagames I think she has since passed
@@deannagames She died 3 months after this hospitalization.
I always thought how unbearable it is to be there near your child and not being able to do anything. This intense feeling of helplessness.
Therefore I'm in a med school. I'm going to be a doctor.
My aunt is a doctor but when her daughter was in the critical condition in the ICU. She was just frozen like I couldn't see a 'doctor' in her just a shocked mom
👍
Wishing you the best, and I hope you keep your compassion and genuine care for your patients when you eventually become a doctor someday.
I cried watching this, stay strong, my prayers are with all the critical children n their families ...
Marcus and his mother are both so strong.
Strong parents, strong babies, strong nurses and doctors, I’m still teary eye
I have lose my daughter during the time of operations ... Actually operation was success but her heartbeat was stand by 😭😭 I feel so sad n regrades that wish I could have save my daughter but the doctor's almost gave us very short time so we tried we did but cudn't save my daughter 😭😭 I pray for every kids , stay healthy and a very bright future ..
Akhumla Sangtam sorry to hear this ❤️🌹
God bless you ❤️ good things are coming for you and your family ✨
@@felitezanos9872 Thank you 👍🏻
Life is very precious 😢
As a mom, watching this video, I burst in tears, can't stop it, it really painful..
For every child who is sick right now, I pray for you all, may Allah cure you, give you health, so you can play with mommy and daddy again..
Love n hug ❤️❤️❤️
I started to tear up 😭😭😭 when her sister had to say goodbye 😭😭😭😭
Talk about state of the art. What a great hospital that is!
This show is intense. God bless those doctors and nurses. Also, God bless the patients and their families. They are going through a time we can’t even imagine.
all these kids seem so sweet! none of them or their parents deserve this much pain! I hope all of them live the rest of their lives happily and healthily!
-love from a girl born in Singapore ❤️
So sad 💔 did the little girl pass away? 😥 what about the 9 year old boy, did he survive? This medical staff does an excellent job...my heart goes out to all.
The last part made me cry so badly! 😢😢😢
I did my little “sisters” footprints a few months before she died. Her brothers, mother, and nurses each got one, along with me and my mother (her honorary aunt). I’m immensely grateful to have the foot print now that she’s passed on.
I cannot even fathom the pain going through xin lin and her family.
The mamas are so strong. My heart is breaking for these beautiful children.
I've been there standing for my baby in 18 days, but she had passed away because the infection was really really strong and decrease her imune system. I just want to say thank to all doctors and nurse who's standing and survive to give the best for my daughter.
and also for all mommy in the entire world, dont be scared. Allah had his better plan to us, just keep believing and survive for your children. you're amazing🥰
tears are literally coming out of my eyes!😭😭😭😭😭
_" Mei Mei is going home "_
몬엑꿍 she survived this and was doing well a few days later xx
Diana Cinto-De Leon how do you know??
Diana Cinto-De Leon what’s her full name? I want to see if I can find the news thing..
@@annasunshine4850 her full name is xie xin lin
@@sarahjains8024 but I heard she got another infection and went to icu again,couldn’t get through it and passed away that’s what I heard...
I wish no parents have to suffer from this... As Marcus' mother said.
I find it amazing how they are Singaporeans, still living in Singapore, and their English is absolutely incredible
We learn English in Singapore.
Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff who take care of these children. ♥️
I wish the patients all the best in this world.
God please watch over and heal these sweet innocent children. Watching this just broke my heart!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really hope they will speedy recovery
My mum worked as a nurse for children. She told me a Story from the 90's. There were ECMO's extra for children in the next bigger City for a patient who needed one. They flew this child there. Totally they had maybe 2-3 ECMO's there. Not all clinics with an children ICU did have them at that time.Only specialised clinics had few ones. Nowaday you can find them everywhere. It's a great machine!
Dr Mok is such an amazing Consultant! And the staff are the same.
TRUE HEROES!! God bless these doctors, nurses, patients and their families.
this is why i fear the hospital. I can feel all the pain that every is going through
Kristofer Seblos Empath?
These are one of the worst case scenarios you can go through but how big is the change that it will happen to you? When you visit a hospital you won’t see the icu unless your visiting a family member or a friend. So don’t fear for hospitals because this video.
All respect to these doctors
U forgot the nurses too
I'm loving this series on Singapore's hospitals. Amazing, beautiful souls they all are.
Xinlin crying makes me so weak get well soon baby....
Unfortunately from what I’ve heard, she is no longer with us.... god needed an angel and she’s no longer in pain...
I feel so sorry for her...
Wow that place is huge! Love how attentively the staff is . Bless these little children hearts 💕the ICU reacted so quickly to everything bad happening 🙏for the kids. The staff are every parents heroes! So thankful for all of them🤗🤗💖🙏🙏⚘🌹❤
Now i understand why i never became a doctor or a nurse. Im a very emotional wreck. The smallest thing and i would just cry my eyes and heart out.
It’s amazing to see such tiny bodies go through so much!!! And sad and brave. Wow. 😥
Thank god for doctors and nurses! Such a difficult job. I don’t think I’d be tough enough.
Damn this made me hold my kids until they hated me. What a beautiful and painfully truthful documentary.
Thanks for the upload and great work by all members of the ICU!
The last part Made my heart mealt i cried it was sad thats why i always thank god for every day of. Of life
I watched 7 minutes and feel so heartbroken and stressed. I couldn’t finish there was no way. Have no clue why this was on my recommend videos? All I’m going to do is start praying every morning for all the sick children and babies around the world. May the lord give them and their families strength and god please touch these babies and heal and cure them from head to toe for them to be healthy and happy in Jesus name🙏🏻and bless those doctors. ❤️😚 i send all my love and kisses to all the babies.
Uhh as a mom of 2 babygirls this broke my heart I couldn’t even imagine this is so sad 😭
This clip pretty summarise one of the reasons why I don't wish to have kids. Kids should be happy and not supoose going through such painful experience
😢😢😢😭😭😭💔💔💔
The only way to create happy kids is to have kids. Some will have illnesses but that doesnt mean they cant be happy.
It’s not all happy nor all sad. It’s life and life happens either happy or sad.
Exctly m too afraid to have kids I can't see thm goign through this despite being a doctor myself
I’m a medical tech assistant for 20 years .. I would be no good working with children with my emotions .. 😢 .. I’ve worked with Elderly , mental health and end of life that’s sad enough .. these doctors and nurses and tech assistants have nerves of steel ..
God Bless these courageous children, so young...😢🙏✝️💗
My 4 year old grandson was on ECMO, thank godhes healthy 13 year old now!
I'm a nursing student right now (1st year) and this kind of video motivates me to study hard. And also, I'm thinking through if I will continue medicine after nursing school.
I am now watching episode 3...salute to all the doctors and staff.
Seeing this my desire has increased yo come and do mbbs in Singapore my dream country..
Love from Pakistan 💞
We might be countries away but I do understand what these parents are going through my son was born with TGA we had a long fight but we made it through bless the beautiful souls!
I hope all the ICU's in the world are same like this nurses and doctors😔
God bless all family who is affected and all good nurses and doctors.
Brave parents.. doctors and nurses are caring and kind.. I dont know how they can do that day after day. Wish I could have seen the outcome of the 9 year old boy.
My heart hurts for the family. 😭😭
god, bless all the kids who are suffering and make them healthier and stronger in the future!
The sound of the IV monitor traumatizes me so much.
Honestly the words "needle" or "hospital" traumatize me
These doctors and nurses are real heroes.
im just crying all the way while watching this episode..
I losted my daughter in the icu room in children's hospital 😭😭😭😭 and then after that lost my grandma passed away also from the age of 92 my daughter was 10
Im very sorry for your and your wife‘s loss. 😢
I’m so sorry for you! 😭😭 Be strong
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry :(
Hate to be negative but expecting a 10 year old to put up with a breathing tube while fully conscious is cruel.That tube is both wide and long adults are usually totally sedated here in Australian ICU to stop them trying to pull it out.
Yeah I found it kind of odd too but maybe there is some type of reason why they can't sedate them
Bless these beautiful babies
Did this precious little baby make it? Whew this has me in tears.
Ear infections can become very dangerous if left untreated or treated incorrectly. I knew someone who had the infection spread all the way below their jaw then to their neck, and the infection slowly closed their esophagus shut and they had to be put into the emergency room and get the infection cleaned out. ear infections aren't a game.
