I've name changed because I feel I'm in enough trouble and worry myself about everything.
I work in a primary school and give first aid regularly. A complaint has been made by another member of staff that I keep threatening to chop children's arms & legs off!!!!
When a child comes to me bleeding and crying I try not to draw to much attention to the injury whilst patching them up, talking about all sorts and it seems to calm them. I have on occasion joked "we will have to chop it off, what do you think?" This is absolutely said in jest and in a very light hearted way. Out of context it sounds horrific but this couldn't be further from the truth. I've never had a child upset by the comment and in fact most of them burst into laughter.
I can understand why it was mentioned to me but I think the complaint from the member of staff was made maliciously because she has unknown issues with me.
I'm now uncomfortable around the children and very aware of everything I say and do for fear of it being taken out of context.
