Brilliant Republican Healthcare Solution: Don’t Take Children With Broken Bones To The ER

Brilliant Republican Healthcare Solution: Don’t Take Children With Broken Bones To The ER

This guy made his own son suffer and put his health at risk with a broken arm. He thinks this is an example of how to save health care dollars. This piece of human excrement ought to be sitting in jail for felony child neglect.

Isolated incident. Move along.

Various types of fractures:

Stable fracture. The broken ends of the bone line up and are barely out of place.

Greenstick fracture – a small, slender crack in the bone. This can occur in children, because their bones are more flexible that an adult’s bones

Some don't show with x-ray:
However, a fracture through the growing part of the bone (called the growth plate) may not show up on X-ray. If this type of fracture is suspected, the doctor will treat it even if the X-ray doesn't show a break.

Broken bones kids

Probably should've taken the kid to the emergency room "if" he was in pain and complaining.

My family has always had great insurance, and we very rarely have visited the emergency room. There's little that can't wait until the family doctor is available.

You're getting a good glimpse of healthcare policy as defined by the swamp-draining GOP. Don't get sick...don't get hurt.....and if you do - don't seek help.

Hyperbole aside you can bet a pillar of the Republican overhaul will be a return to offering insurance plans that are not insurance....just coupon books for the hospital. But they'll be really affordable - and that's the metric Republicans will sell them to the public on. There's lots of conflict coming from within the GOP on the Obamacare "replacement" (if that even happens)....but the coupon-book plan is something they almost all agree on.

Once again, Liberals prove that they are simply baffled by the concept that adults are responsible to take care of themselves and those children that they bring into the World.

So much speculation going on here it's ridiculous, expected, but ridiculous. I would bet if the kid had a compound fracture he would be rushed to the ER right away. Even if it wasn't a compound and the kid was wailing away he would've been rushed to the ER. You guys can be like a sewing circle sometimes sit around and chitty chat on what ya'll think how it is or going to be.

I remember my older brother broke his collar bone on a hippity-hop, we thought a race down a steep hill was a good idea at the time. Of course his momentum got the best of him and head over heels he went(many times). When he got up his arm was down to his knee. He wasn't crying, said it hurt a little but not much. My mom put it in a sling (with three little boys, there was always a slew of medical devices in the house ) and was debating whether to go to the dr in the AM or wait on my dad to get home. To tell you the truth I'm not sure whether they took him or not, but I know he and his collar bone turned out just fine.

They had [9]five kids!? I'm sure there are skinned knees, burns, bumps and bruises galore in that house, after so long with multiple kids and been through so many dr visits ,mom usually becomes a quite good nurse rather quickly. Trust me if her kid were screaming and crying, it would eb the ERR right away.
I've got other stories I could tell as well, I thought a kid killed himself at our house during a sleepover one time, I was shaking for two days I was so scared, but that's another story.

Wait a minute, WTH does this have to do with any new healthcare law anoyway? Ya'll are assuming that much based on one incident? Sheesh.

Oh yea, forgot to put the pic of a hippity hop for those who may not remember what they are.

So, none of you Liberals have ever broken a bone, or gotten a cut and waited until your family doctor was available? You guys really are part of the problem.

AMEN!!
