You know what your afternoon is going to be like when the receptionist finds you at work, and says... "The school nurse is on the phone"...
That was at 2 pm. .. When I FINALLY arrived home at 730 pm... my daughter was the proud owner of a hard half cast...
She was playing on the monkey bars at recess and well, she got a buckle fracture on her right wrist.
First we went to the pediatrician.. (I can't see tell, go get an Xray). Then to the hospital, wait for outpatient registry, go get some quarters to feed the meter so you don't get towed, get registered, then go to outpatient services, and then finally the ER!
Then at the ER, the PA (outstanding service) tells me that they don't cast in the ER anymore! I've never heard that... they casted my son, when he had a greenstick fracture almost three years ago.
My baby! So now my daughter is following on my sons footsteps.. he had one buckle fracture at 3, and a greenstick fracture at age 6 (he has broken/fractured both of his arms!)
Oddly enough, my DH and I have never broken anything... Now I can't say its just a boy thing!

He fell out of the swing instead of the monkey bars though.
We went through the same thing. Only 1 person in the ER knew how to put on a splint (after dr's office, xrays at the hospital, outpatient care, etc.). His dr didn't want the ER to put on a cast-we had to wait 10 days for his dr to put a cast on. All in all, that first day, my son had been at the dr/hospital for about 5 hours.
) real soon, Cindy.
