I have 2 other threads on this which outlines the whole rigmarole but basically Friday was spent going from a&e to the doctors to be send to another a&e to be sent home with no concerns.
All comes from a bump on my sons head which is still there 6 weeks later along with him having a history of a haemorrage as a baby where he had to have a craniomoty so combined with this lump and then a few indents I found and no docs appts I went to a&e.
Anyway, discussing this with my friend last night who asked if they asked me to remove his clothes at a&e - they did at both hospitals.
The first hospital asked me to strip him completely felt around his stomach checked his movement of arms and legs etc, the second hospital did the same but didn't ask me to remove his underwear.
Friend said that they did this when her son had an accident at home ( he had fallen into their coffee table and head needing gluing ) but apparently they told her they check for abuse signs especially in head injuries / injuries in the home.
This has made me quite sad that they might have thought that but also annoyed as the way she said it was almost like she wanted me to worry and be concerned someone might come out to us as she had a health visitor call her after offering a safety in the home check
