Redneck First Aid
If your child shoots himself in the head with a bb gun trying to dig out the bb with a knife is probably a bad idea. But, if you do and you are unsuccessful, waiting for 24 hours to take him to the ER just might get him pulled from the home.

If you try to do at home surgery on your kid, you might be a redneck! :lol:

Sounds to me like either Dad was too embarrassed to let the world know his kid was that, ah...., uncoordinated (yea, good word), or wanted to protect his kid from ridicule. Maybe a bit of both.

Actually it sounds to me like the family has no health insurance so dad did everything possible to keep from going to the ER. Unfortunately, there are just some things that require medical care no matter what.

That's what it sounds like to me, too, patty. The kid's going to have some serious bragging rights with the scar, though.
