Just been to the local centre where they do enuresis appointments, baby weigh ins, counselling etc. Health visitors are based there and also district nurses.
My 6 year old was running along the pavement outside and went a complete purler, ending up skidding along the pavement on her right cheek.
Obviously really upset, badly grazed cheek, cut hand, grazed shoulder, red chin, nose and that bit above your lip, red knees. Dirt in all the grazes.
I took her back inside for first aid. They didn't have a first aid kit, no first aider and the district nurses wouldn't help in case something went wrong (and, presumbably, led to them being sued).
What is the world coming to?
I then had to take my 11 yr old out of her appointment so I could go home and treat the 6 yr old.
Do you think I should complain to the health authority or am I wasting my time?
