Guest guest Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hello, I just got back from a trip to the emergency room......bad enough in itself. my 1 yr old dd put her hand on the wood stove. We got there and waited for 45 min to see someone then, it was you need to trim her nails, change her diaper you don't want her to get diaper rash, is she up to date on her immunizations? I said we do not immunize per religious reasons. What religion? I told her we're Baptist. She goes out, comes back a few minutes later and says, this is a serious wound, her immunity system couldn't fight tetanus, you need to get her the shot or we are going to call child services, as you are putting her at serious risk. SERIOUSLY! She didn't even wait for me to refuse! What do I need to be doing to protect myself? I told them I would take her to my regular doctor, as I wanted to get the tetanus only vaccine instead of the combo. they didn't have it available. Any thoughts here would be great.......I am so appalled they would outright threaten me like that! I probably wouldn't have had an issue getting it for her.....but to be treated like that! in Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
