[quote=Anonymous]Boy age 14 - once for an allergic reaction, age 10 Boy age 10 - three times Once for laceration to scalp requiring a couple of staples, age 2. Once for mild stomach ache but I couldn’t find a button battery from a toy and panic ensued, age 3. It wasn’t the button battery. Once after a fall skiing during ski lesson, and ski patrol sledded him down and straight into an ambulance. He wasn’t injured at all (I would have told him just to get up), but ski instructor was being very cautious with a 5 year old, which I appreciated. We have been to urgent care clinic for other concerns, sprained ankles, etc. I’m an md and I avoid the ER if at all possible. It’s busy, there are people there who use it for primary care, the likelihood of sitting for hours is high. We were living in Manhattan and I drove my kid to a an ER in NJ for the scalp issue to avoid nyc ER on a Friday night. [/quote]
