My child needed stitches and a possible tetanus shot (I was unsure of their last one) as they fell off a fence and landed in a rusty start picket. I called up Ravensthorpe hospital and explained the situation and what they needed, only to be told that they can’t do that here, I’ll have to go to Esperance.
It was on a weekend night and Esperance is over an hour away from me. It was dinner time and the roads were wet. I was very frustrated and disappointed and driving with hungry kids whilst maintaining that I actually don’t do well with blood, was super hard!
