Turns out he just had a strawberry floating nose bleed.
He did lose quite a lot of blood and you can't be too careful with these things, especially where kids are concerned, so it was probably the right thing to do in the circumstances. But on the other hand what with the uptick in covid recently going to a busy hospital was not really my most desirable way to spend an afternoon!
Was the doctor able to feedback to you that your son had a nosebleed and not a broken nose without a Priti Patel-esque smirk?
Everyone at the hospital was really good in all honesty. I was convinced it was only a nosebleed in the first place, he's got form in having bad ones, but he did look a right mess when I got to school and they had already contacted the doctor by that point who was pretty insistent that he be brought in!

Very good
