@healingfromgod I see. Thanks for clarifying!

@jdn2604 I may be confused here. When you say that the pediatrician did the right thing, are you suggesting that the pediatrician perhaps intentionally sent these parents to the ER to trigger a child abuse evaluation?

@999forever Ah, I see. That's so scary to be contemplating at the same time you're dealing with being suspected of abuse. I'm so sorry, and hope things are sorted as quickly as possible.

@shela710 Oh, that does make sense. Thank you for the explanation!

@brendabree Oh, wow. That's terrifying to even think about. Also good to know!

@shela710 Could you elaborate on that a bit? Other than abuse or neglect (or accidental bodily trauma, I suppose), what are other possible causes for bruising in that area? I guess I'm wondering if the pediatrician suspected possible abuse right from the get-go.

@999forever I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'd be so upset with the pediatrician, too. Did you let them know what happened? Why would they think a bruise, absent any other symptoms, was enough of an emergency to go to the ER?
