[QUOTE="donna723, post: 568201, member: 1883"] OMG! I would be furious! We don't even have school nurses here, we just have coaches and teachers "diagnosing" injuries and deciding what's serious and what's not. It's happened to us too. My daughter once came home limping and in pain from an ankle injury she got playing basketball. The coach had looked at it, decided it was nothing, and told her to "walk it off". We took her to the ER where it was diagnosed as a very bad sprain. Wish I had seen that coaches face the next day when she came hobbling in wearing the giant boot the ER doctor put her in! "Walk it off"! Yeah, right! My younger brother once got hurt during PE class and was ridiculed by the coach who accused him of being a whiner and just trying to get out of participating in class. After a long, bumpy ride home in the school bus, we took him to the ER where xrays showed that his collar bone was broken. But I guess he could have "walked that off" too if he really tried! [/QUOTE]
