My son (9) fell in the playground on friday at playtime, badly hurt his wrist and was looked at by a first-aider. She asked him to wiggle his fingers (he could) and then said there was nothing wrong with him and sent him back out to the playground. He then went back into class, and was apparently (according to his concerned friends) sobbing all afternoon. His teacher didn't ask what was wrong (presume she hadn't been made aware of the incident) and he had to carry on working for the rest of the day with no attention. At hometime when I saw him it was immediately apparent that he was extremely distressed, and just one look at his wrist was enough to see something was clearly not right. A different first aider looked at it, and suggested I get straight to a&e, which we did. Turned out that he had a distal radius fracture. I am very upset that noone thought to phone me/tell me, and he didn't have an accident/bump slip. When I went in to school yesterday to discuss it and express my concerns at the way he was dealt with, I asked several times about the accident book record and said I wanted to see it. I was basically told they'd look into it and get back to me. I would appreciate your thoughts/advice x
