A Scratch...

I have to vent a little... I had a parent call me today angry that I did not call her yesterday when her child got a scratch on the playground. The child came into the office after it happened. It was not even bleeding but I cleaned it and bandaged it and sent her on her way. I have atleast 20 plus kids that I do this for on a daily basis. Never did I ever think this one was any different than any other. Mom said when the child got home she saw the scratch and immediately took her to the doctor for a tetnus and evaluation. When she got there the nurses told her that was not neccisary that her shots were all up to date and the child was fine!!! DUH!!!! Mom said from now on that I am to call her anytime her child comes in my office. I replied, "every little scratch?" Mother said yes. I'm having a hard time swallowing this one! She said because I did not contact her she drove all the way to the doctor for nothing. Am I out of line here? Do you all call parents for scratches??

I agree that we are raising wimps. I have thought about going to the classes at the beginning of the year, the middle and towards the end and teach the students what they can and can't come to the nurse for....in front of the teacher. I think it will help. I see so many silly things in my office. One insect bite! If my own child came to me c/o a insect bite I would come unglued. Good grief..deal with it!

I have referal forms too. I use them frequently but perhaps I should send one with every student who comes in. If they actually get back to the parents and they see some of the crazy stuff these kids come in for maybe they will have a talk with their child....or not.....!!:bugeyes:
