I went downtown to the library today and when I got off the bus and had crossed the street I heard a loud "thunk" behind me. I stopped and turned around and there was a young girl with a large buggy type stroller that had tipped over front first.
It looked something like the one in this picture.

It is top heavy anyway by design, but she had a bunch bags and a purse strapped to the top of it making it even more top heavy.
The stroller tipped over completely frontwards and the little boy's forehead smashed into the concrete.
I ran back and helped her pick up the stroller and I wanted to look at his head because he smacked it pretty hard. She wouldn't let me, even after I told her that I was a nurse and showed her my nursing license.
There were no visible cuts on the boy's forehead, but he did have one whopper of a goose egg appearing. Amazingly enough the kid wasn't screaming.
The only thing I could tell her was to put some ice on his forehead and to keep an eye on him and to pay attention to if he gets sleepy and to not let him fall asleep. And if he does to wake him up to make sure he can still be roused. I also told her to make sure his pupils react to light normally.
Nothing more I could do seeing she wouldn't let me check his head. I just hope he's going to be ok.
