When one of our children gets sick, we take them to the hospital ER. It may take a bit longer but they run the whole 9 on them. Chest xrays, throat swabs, etc. They usually end up giving us a short term script for whatever their outcome is but it's at that point whether or not we gauge if we should take them to their general practitioner, specialist, etc. or not.  |
You are usually very intelligent but you must be up the fuck out of your mind to take a child to the ER when it is not absolutely the fuck necessary. You KNOW how many HORRIBLE infections people manage to pick up at the ER... right? If you insist on doing this, for the love of god, make sure they kids don't touch ANYTHING when they go in and bring your own sheet to put down for them to lay on or something.
Meanwhile, if you're one of these who gives a kid an anti at the drop of a hat, someday when they REALLY need one, it won't work.. So, be careful!!!
