I'm going to need one of those shirts, too! LOL

And on the back of my shirt it will read: "Did you eat breakfast this morning? Do you need to use the bathroom?" For all of those tummy aches... ;)

My shirt would read:

Headache? Drink some water! Dehydration is NOT your friend.

Keep Calm and Poop. I have a button with that on it. That would solve most of the world's problems.

The reason I am keeping you out of sports after your concussion is NOT because I dont like you. In fact I really DO like you and don't want to see you suffer for weeks with post concussive symptoms....

No, high school junior, you cannot go back to class with a heart rate of 112 and a resp rate of 40 for no apparent reason, even if you beg me. (Happened this morning!!)

My other t-shirt would read "Yes, you may have a cough drop/pad/tampon."

What? Usually it is me telling a kid with a HR of 76 and RR of 16 that "yes, you are okay and yes, you can actually return to class."

Also, cough drops are both a savior and the devil. I invested in sugar-free menthol ones this year. Some might call that evil... :troll:
