VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

So, my daughter slammed her finger in the door at school, which required a 5 hour ER visit. It turns out that she slammed the door hard enough to fracture her distal phalanx on her right index finger, and cut a gash through her fingernail. It quite literally took peeling back the fingernail, and adding 6 stitches to sew the end of her finger back on. She has to wear a brace for the next couple weeks to let the bone heal.

The worsed part was she did it at school, and when it happened, the teacher sent her to the office where they gave her a bandaid and sent her back to class to finish out the day! She outbled the bandaid and needed to stop for paper towels on the way back to class. They didn't even call to tell us she got hurt! We found out when she got home, turned green, and asked to go to the hospital. 

Stitching her finger together 4 hours later was the only thing that stopped the bleeding. How could a school send an 8-year-old child with a gaping, bleeding wound and a broken finger back to class to finish the day without even calling?

Someone is GOING to hear about this.
