Our first big injury AKA Follow your "Momtuition"

Yesterday Biggest was at preschool. She wouldn't get up off the floor to go see the speaker so the director grabbed her hand and pulled her (despite the fact that her care forms state that her arms are not to be pulled on). Biggest pulled back. Resulting in elbow and shoulder pain. When her teacher called me, Biggest wouldn't talk to me and wouldn't say if she wanted to come home or not so I figured she was OK enough to stay. When I went to pick them up, she was happy though holding her arm straight down and not moving it. When we were leaving, another girl reached down to hold Biggest's hand which elicited a howl of pain such as I have never heard from her. It took a while to calm her down and get her to tell me exactly where she hurt. After an excruciating entry into her car seat, I went home to look up a pediatric orthopedist. Difficulty after difficulty and some tears from both of us. No one can see her until the next day. I DON'T want to take her to the ER. Since she is not swelling or bruising the nurse feels that is fine. FINALLY her PCP calls back (all I asked for was for the referrals lady to get me a name - now I have to pay a phone consult fee! But that brings up another topic) and he says he doubts that she needs to be seen by a doctor "it's simply another instance of nursemaid's elbow". I inform him I have already made an appointment and I will be keeping it. GOOD THING I LISTENED TO MYSELF - her radial bone is cracked. Can you imagine if I had listened to him? Not that I usually quash my instincts, but it irritates me when people expect me to.
