if it makes you feel any better, i'm a radiographer, xraying people who come into a&e among other things. you wouldnt believe the amount of so called '''bad mothers''' so you're actually in the vast majority along with me. i'm probably worse than most, spoonful of calpol you'll be fine in the morning etc. very blase about anything that doesnt involve lots of blood and flashing blue lights.

on the other hand, the ones we really get annoyed at are the ones who drag their children in to be xrayed for every knock or bruise, they dont even have the decency to limp!!

you're in good company.

Helen.
