This is my little trooper at the 4 1/2 hour waiting mark in the Emergency waiting room (we were there for just about 5 hours altogether). While we were at a joint Family birthday party for Steve, Kevin and Dawnelle, on Sunday afternoon, Scott fell off some playground equipment and put a huge gash in his forehead.
Out of habit he smiled, but we told him that wasn't necessary....
This was a more appropriate expression for the occasion!
Beautiful new hospital.... but they have MANY MANY kinks to work out...
This was the 4th room we were taken to before the Dr. actually fixed him up.
The Dr. glued Scott's wound together...
Nurse Nancy was a gem, and made Scott laugh. I wish the receptionists had been as nice as her and Dr. M... The admitting nurses need to take some PR courses, and need to learn how to deal with people if this is going to be their chosen line of work. Seriously, they were bags. But Dr. M and Nurse Nancy made up for their incompetence.
In true scrapbooking form, I documented the whole event in pictures. Of course, we don't have any pictures from the scene of the accident.... that would have been gross.

What a tropper!! He looked like he might've actually been having fun! I know my time will come with stiches or broken bones at the ER someday but I'm not really looking forward to it. Good for you for taking pictures!!
I hear you on the cranky triage nurses and receptionists. i was recently at the old hospital and dealt with a bag who made me feel totally stupid so i left. As I walked away i mumbled to the people in the waiting room, "I hope the new hospital comes with new front desk people who are a little more friendlier then these hags"!
