We got a call from my sister in law yesterday evening that her 5 year old son had tried to pick up his 2 week old brother and accidentally dropped him on a carpeted floor.
She took him to the ER to make sure there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. By looking at him, he was acting as a 2 week old should. They did a catscan which is common in head trauma cases. We hear back that the baby has a skull fracture and is bleeding a bit. They are going to send him by ambulance to a neighboring cities Childrens hospital.
Well by this time, Mom is freakin'...thinking her baby is about to die and they wouldn't even let her ride in the ambulance with her son because of her anxiety levels.
Mom, Dad, and Grandma follow the ambulance and arrive at the Childrens hospital. They give the baby another catscan with more advanced machines ...they attending Dr. comes back out and says there is NO fracture, No bleeding. .Baby is fine.
How could a hospital be so wrong in their diagnosis?
