Need To Vent

Sorry folks but it is vent time.
I am usually pretty hush hush about the personal things in my life
Today was just a little much..
My grandson had an accident that led my daughter and him in the ER.
He had a cut through his ear where he had pulled a tv off on himself..
She called me and said that they told her he needed a ear,nose & throat doctor..
I said fine we have two here in town...
She said neither one of them are on call !!
They said she had to drive him to Little Rock to get his ear stitched up..
i am still in shock that they would not call a local doctor.. What is the deal?
When i was a child my father woke me up in the middle of the night to ride with him
to the drug store because someone needed their meds filled..
It was not even a question about being on call.. Someone needed him and he was there!
Have people changed that much?
A town this size does not have emergency care for a one and a half year old boy??
