Glory be...
Aug. 15th, 2003 09:17 amThank the powers that be, some children are being raised right!
I worked a trauma last night at work with a 6yo boy that got hit by a car.
After our first trauma alert as he came in, we shortly found out that he was pretty much ok, except for that pesky right femur fracture. (obvious deformity - we did not have x-ray vision...ha!)
He was so polite and well mannered.
The family was poor (lower socio-economic as we say).
But I'll be damned if they had better breeding than any rich-dallasite-white-better-than-you-I-have-insurance-do-I-have-to-wait-I-play-golf-with-the-CEO people.
I felt so at ease with the entire family.
As his father, trying to get a look, was messing with his son's blanket over the fractured thigh, the boy said aloud "Would y'all please stop touching my leg?"
The boy was half asleep from the morphine we gave him and yet had better manners than a most grown adults I have ever seen in my ER.
*beams*
