I was at a children’s event today. A child fell head first from a height of around a metre onto concrete. I arrived around an hour later and was asked to take a look at the child as I have basic first aid training (though no further medical training). By this time the child had vomited, was struggling to stay awake, seemed quite confused about what had happened & had a noticeably swollen face. I advised the parents to take her straight to A&E but they refused, stating that they had medical backgrounds (though neither of them are doctors) and A&E was ‘pointless’. I did see the child later up & running around but I can’t get it out of my head. This should have been an A&E thing, right?
