Local authority wanted to get me in trouble and 2 years running a teenage girl came to my workplace with her arm in a plaster cast as they knew I had broken mine earlier. It was obviously put on the day before.

I don’t think this is a wind-up, but I do think the OP is confused and maybe not well.

Nowadays a BCG vaccination is only given to someone with a higher risk of contracting TB. It is no longer a routine vaccination as used to be the case. It’s not clear whether the OP’s son was given this vaccination, which would have been administered in the upper arm and not have required ‘stripping off’, which I interpret as removal of all, or almost all, clothing, or some other treatment or examination was given. If social workers had to be involved there is obviously something amiss.

Presumably the vaccination was given in the arm which wasn't plastered? In which case it might be difficult to administer without taking a jumper off.
Just trying to make sense of it.

Oh, it's not the son with his arm in a plaster cast, it's another child.

confused

OP, do you think you should ask for a GP appointment?

Still can't make head not tail of this post. If the OP started from the beginning ,middle and end of her story the post would make sense .

This is another complication.

Please come back and we will try to get the story right.

I really do think you need to make an urgent GP appointment or phone 111, Whingey, your posts don't make sense which makes me wonder if you are suffering from delirium. Thst could be caused by an infection which needs urgent treatment.

I agree with Allira.. It seems that the OP is muddled about a past event, possibly quite along time ago as she mentions a 13 year old son..
see your GP Whingey.. we only wish you the best

It needs to be treated urgently.

Pip from mumsnet has been in touch and said to let you know everything is OK. Thanks for your concern

Allira Tue 08-Apr-25 13:02:36

Thanks for letting us know Whingey.
