"disinterested doctor, grumpy nurse"

About: Fairfield General Hospital

The doctor glanced over my two year olds xrays for a matter of seconds and decided she was fine, he had no alternative diagnosis for why she was unable to bear weight on her leg without sobbing and no intention of finding out. He offered to strap the leg anyway (though he did not know why) then was told not to by the rude and ill tempered nurse who gave us no explanation but just walked away, leaving my husband and I alone with our daughter not knowing if we had been dismissed and no better informed than we had been when we arrived 2 hour earlier. The only positive experience was the nice lady who took the xrays who was both patient and polite.
