i went to the hospital this morning because i have something wrong with my hand. i knocked it last week and it is really hurting. it feels like something is fractured or cracked. i waited 1 hour to see the doctor and when i said i knocked it he said the bit of my hand that hurts can 'only be damaged by a hard punch or something like that, not a toy falling on it'
i thought this was really patronising and out of order. he said there isn't any point in x-raying it and sent me home and said take an asprin.
i knocked the palm of my hand on the pushchair not even hard but i have been in total agony for the past hour since i did it. ive got shooting pains up my hand and i can hardly move my hand at all now so i must of knocked something that is already damaged.
Im going to go back up the hospital later when dp is home and ds is in bed but can i demand an x-ray?
i really want one just to put my mind at rest. and i hope there is something broken so that i can do the doctor for neglegence!!
