United Hospital is terrible, don't go there if you live in the Mpls/St. Paul area. Gave birth to my first child there and couldn't walk afterwards, they sent me home w/o checking what was wrong (large football-sized cyst along with destroyed ovary removed 5 months later, at another hospital who found it). I was in constant pain and couldn't walk much/get out of bed/put right foot over side of tub w/o severe pain... for 5 months. Now they are telling me their diagnosis of a broken foot on Murphy (x-rays and all) is an insect bite (3 days later). But he's still limping. WTH?
PS: This is also the hospital where I went when bleeding occurred during my second pregnancy. The snotty-bitch check-in lady said, "I'm just letting you know, if you are miscarrying, we can't do anything about it." Then I went up to ask a question, and the guy in front of me at the counter was told, "Sir, move to the side, the woman behind you is hemorrhaging and gets priority care." Thanks for sharing my business with the world, Hagasaurus Rex. PS: I did miscarry, but not for 2 more days, and on that day after waiting 1 1/2 hours in the waiting room they found a heart beat. After they transferred me to the Birth Center, where healthy pregnant women were while I balled my head off. Then being wheeled back down to ER because they don't do miscarriages in the birthing center. Mistake after mistake, after mistake...

So, now are you saying that Murphy does not have a broken foot? Of all the......!! Do you believe them, are you taking him elsewhere?
They didn't do an xray?
I called my primary pediatrician, sent him the sheets the hospital sent me home with "buckle fracture". Children's is burning the x-rays and sending them to him per my request. Our Doc and his nurse are working with Children's and getting the notes from the hospital and all. They are going to go over all the info and then, make an appointment for Murphy to come in and get it checked out, and we go from there.
The nurse from our pediatric clinic suggested we find an ER we can visit that can handle cases like murphy's better. And I laughed with her that we have to find a ER to get him to, because we visit ER's with him at least 2 times a year.
PS: the person diagnosing him that night said, "There is no injection sight." about whether it was an insect bite or not.
sounds like the hospital in the falls!!!!
