This is an overreaction, right?
A friend who had a baby in December posted this today on FB.
"Trama this morning! While putting Anna in her stroller I pushed the
snack tray down without realizing her finger was in there, pinched her
finger so bad that I called 911 and the medics came...she is fine,
might loose a fingernail. I was a bigger baby than she was. Racked with
horrible mommy guilt. Big thanks to the random strangers who came over
to help. Glad that people do care."
Re: This is an overreaction, right?
WTF wouldn't she just drive her to the ER? Even that would be a mass overreaction, but at least it wouldn't waste EMT resources.
Yep. I am sure I would freak and think I was a terrible no good very bad mother. But once I regained focus, if it actually required medical attention, it would be a trip to the doctor's office (ER if ABSOLUTELY necessary - like blood gushing necessary).
I've called the nurses line enough to know that there isn't a whole lot that requires emergency intervention. I called once after Andy had a vomiting episode that I was sure was record setting. The nurse, while very kind in my time of need, basically told me to chill the eff out.
Seeking medical attention/advice: Acceptable.
Calling 911: Batshiit.
That's ridiculous. I'd take her into the kids clinic that we have here if I thought it was bad enough to require a stitch or something.
But we're generally a "shake it off" group. We felt pretty guilty recently when we realized that her elbow was dislocated all night. Whoops.
And yes Jen, the health hotline has been a great resource, especially when the fevers at 3 am hit.
