This evening around 4:30 Paige's pediatrician called. The one who told me her leg would be fine. It was only a bad bruise.

It seems a radiologist actually looked at the x-rays today. Three full days after I brought her in. Her leg is broken below the right knee. They need me to bring her back in immediately. They are concerned if I don't her leg may incur more damage.

Oh, you mean more damage than may have been incurred as she was running around on a broken leg all weekend????

No, I will not bring her in. I want to see a orthopedic doctor in the morning. I want a new x-ray to make sure the bone has not already set in a funny way.

My child who must have an incredible tolerance for pain has an appointment tomorrow morning at 8:00.

I am extremely annoyed.
