Getting x-rayed yesterday

As trips to the emergency room go, it was smooth, easy, and low key, and it turns out to have been merely a precaution, because whatever Zack did to the wire, he didn't swallow it. Our local hospital is just a few blocks away, and it isn't very busy---we waited for about half an hour to be processed and after we were moved to pediatrics, it took another half hour to get the X-ray done and read. We didn't see anybody in real pain, there were no scary bloody people being rushed around, and nobody with obvious contagious symptoms, though we didn't let Zack touch anything while we were waiting. We didn't see our regular pediatrician, but she works there three days a week and everybody knew who she was, and our paperwork was minimal because her office and the hospital share a computer system.
