<s>[INST] Five days ago my 18-month nephew was in an accident and taken to the ER where he was diagnosed with a concussion and a tear in his liver. He was in intensive care for three days then transferred to a regular room. On the fifth day of his stay the hospital discovered he also had a broken leg. My question is twofold: one, should we be worried about his leg not mending properly because it was left untreated for nearly a week? And two, what would you think about an ER doctor who does not check for broken bones in this case? Would you consider this malpractice? [/INST] Hello! Thank you for writing us here. Well because the bones of child Chat Doctor.  There are chances of million of the bone but if by any chances the fracture was not very severe and just a green stick or non displaced fracture (which are common fractures) the reunion would be proper. I would suggest going for X-ray and application of cast over the leg for proper union of leg. It could be serious if the fracture is on metaphysical part which would affect the growth of the bone. Please make sure you take the child to a pediatric orthopaedician for good recovery. Best regards, </s>
