Dislocation

Ken dislocated his elbow again. Previously he did it one year ago, when Mari pulled Ken’s hand while she was playing with him. I noticed his limp arm, and took him to a hospital. But Mari insisted there that he injured his wrist but not his elbow. So the doctor took a wait-and-see approach. I doubt this diagnosis and took Ken to another hospital. That was a general hospital, and an orthopedic specialist corrected his elbow right away.

This time, I was called from Mari that Ken fell down with chair holding something at the daycare. The chief of the daycare told Mari that Ken would better go hospital if he has a swelling in his shoulder. Ken murmured repeatedly, "give up, I give up."
I come back home soon and saw his limp arm again. I took Ken to the general hospital immediately. We waited for a while, and an orthopedic specialist corrected his elbow again. Ken was very delighted.
I do not know why they so want to take a wait-and-see approach. In either case, it was obvious that Ken had a problem in his elbow, at least for me.
