since everyone else is sharing an anecdote:

When I was 14 or so I fell off my dirt bike and broke my arm, both bones in my forearm.

Went to the hospital. About 5 people asked me how it happened taking about an hour, while I was WRITHING in pain.

Finally, I complained to the right nurse and she got me something for the pain. It was just enough to stop crying, not enough to stop feeling it.

I later found out that the intake nurse was concerned about abuse.

I was dressed head to toe in dirtbike gear. I was a 150lb 14 yr old. my mother was 110 lbs.

They delayed treatment so multiple people, nurses, doctors, and hospital staff could all ask me what happened and compare if I told them the same thing.

THIS. It very often seems as if the medical/social system has "barricaded itself" inside it own ideological/psychiatric obsessions with the idea of child abuse, and is blind to reality. Let alone the actual welfare of the child.
