I remember when I was pregnant the first time reading any child care information I could get my hands on. I read books, magazines, and any brochure I could pick up on my monthly doctor visits. I sent away for information and subscribed to every parenting magazine I could find.
I don't remember reading any books on what to do if your child breaks a bone, or needs special medical attention. My kids have had injuries from playing in the backyard to playing sports.
My oldest daughter broke her arm when she fell off a teeter totter while we were at our Summer Camp. We had to go to the hospital in the area and I was not too comfortable with the whole experience to say the least. And the Teeter totter was removed promptly.
Finding a doctor and facility that I am comfortable with is at the top of my list all the time. I look for a well know facility, well known doctors and staff, and I even look to see what their waiting room is like. You have to pick the best place you feel comfortable with, after all they are your kids.

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Hospital for Special Surgery. A small donation to a charity of my choice was made in my name as a thank you for participating. You should consult with your physician or other health care provider before beginning any rehabilitation/therapy, sports training, or exercise program.
