Request: We would like to see broken bones, cuts requiring stitches and foreign objects lodged in eye, nose, ear or other body orifice removed as a serious injury. These are childhood injuries/occurrences and should not be seen as a serious injury. These situations happen sometimes, and we have children who put foreign objects like pea gravel, macaroni, sand and mulch in their eyes, mouth, nose & ears. We support dislocation, poisoning and concussions as serious injuries.
