[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sounds like Sibley does take infants/ children?

I didn't think of Georgetown. That's an easier drive for us than Children's.

We went to Children's when LO was just born for bloodwork and I was frightened by the line at the ER. But sounds like it's not necessarily a place to avoided in all cases.[/quote]

[b]They triage the line.[/b] It’s not like you’d bleed out standing there behind someone with a broken finger. [/quote]

Just PSA, they of course "triage" in the sense that they are willing to take truly emergency patients to the front of the line, but you have to self-advocate. Don't just blindly stand in line with a child who can't breathe expecting someone to come by anytime soon to evaluate you. My most recent time there, waiting in line for hours with a kid who needed stitches, the only  line-jumper I witnessed get "triaged" happened because his parents sprinted in with the poor kid slung over their shoulder seizing. They knew what to do and ignored the line and ran straight into the waiting room screaming.[/quote]
