And this is exactly why ER Dr's today do not treat many patients with the respect that they deserve. They are there for much more than just saving a life on the brink of death. They are there for any after hours issues that arise to include potential broken bones. Yes there are those who abuse our ER's and use them for their primary care, but I've noticed a tremendous difference in the treatment I myself have received over the past 5 yrs or so. I have numerous serious medical conditions and believe me I do not go to the ER unless I absolutely must due to how they treat me. If any toddler is limping and in pain I would advise everyone to go to the ER if it's after hours. If there's a break they can at least set it up in something temp until they can get in with an ortho Dr for a perm cast.
