"Toddler's cut finger"

My toddler, we shall call him Dangerous Dave, (not their real name) managed to stick their fingers down the bathroom plug hole and slice open their finger when they tried to remove it.

A couple of days later the carefully applied bandaid (mum's a nurse) was pulled off in a wrestling tussle with Dangerous Dave and his dad. This caused a larger wound that wouldn't stop bleeding and after a chat with the nurse on call, we went up to Wonthaggi ED for a check-up/rebandage.

We met the lovely Dr Charlene who managed to keep the now grumpy toddler in a good mood and explained what she was doing to their finger at every step. It was really sweet and showed great skill in dealing with the little ones. I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Dr Charlene and the ED at Wonthaggi. It was a busy evening but my toddler was treated with kindness and respect, which goes a long way, even for the little ones. We were not made to feel like we were wasting anyone's time.
