my nephew who is 7 broke his foot 3 weeks ago... he accidently kicked a desk it knocked of his to nail ... it swelled so my sister took him to the er as it was a saturday... they told her it was not broke but they would treat it like it was a sprain... they didn't wrap it or anything no crutches nothing... last week he was at my house and i noticed it was still swollen so we took him to his pediatrician ... the nurse their thought it was his shoe causing it... the doctor told my sister to keep him off his foot until the specialist could see him... they carried him to the car for my sister... she had to send him to school the next day (he has athsma real bad and misses alot) she told the teacher to keep him off that foot as much as possible ... the teacher took off his shoe to look at it- like she didn't beleive my sister... said she was looking for a spider bite(like shes a doctor) he went to the specialist and its was definately broken and its already started to heal... they put a cast on it and a shoe over it because they have no crutches small enough for him.. We went and talked to his teacher_ i think it made her feel stupid when he first did it he told her his foot hurt and she told him to sit down... another time he was running a hundred and one temp. he told her he was sick and she told him to sit down... he was so sick the doctor almost put him in the hospital...
My thing is the er docs should have seen this break and a radiologist looks at it the next day ... I wonder how they missed it. I even saw it on the xray its not a small break
