“Instead of having the problem fixed the first time, you let your kid suffer through two more injuries before he received proper medical treatment.”
Life sucks, but you have to PLAY BY THE RULES - I don’t make the rules, but I WILL respond to them. Every time my kid ran a fever, we took him in - don’t confuse us with “prayer healers”. We simply feel that the BEST environment for our kids is with their natural-born parents. And in the end, we were PROVEN RIGHT...and no, that kid has NO REGRETS, he’s willing to take some pain to keep his parents.
You didn’t “play by the rules”; you assumed a worst case scenario and allowed your fear to override your child’s need for medical attention.
The answer to the problem is not “keep my kid out of the hospital when he has a dislocated _________” but “I’m going to act in faith, do the responsible thing and get my kid the appropriate medical attention the first time”.
Using the government as an excuse to not provide your child medical attention when needed is disgraceful.
