I am so over every headache being called a migraine these days!

Oh, yes!!! You come in talking and smiling, then when I ask what is wrong, (pained look comes over your face) "I have a migraine." Really?!

I have had so many high schoolers come in lately and ask for something to help with their fatigue. No other symptoms, just tired. Stayed up let and didn't get enough sleep... thinks I might have a pill or cure... Um, nope. Maybe don't stay up that late and get some sleep...

Ha! This happened to me a few weeks ago, but I was on the receiving end. I got three emails in an hour saying that I never submitted my son's emergency medical information and permission to treat. I know I did but I resubmitted it a anyway. About an hour later I got a fourth email about it. I finally realized something must be wrong with the system. Sure enough the following day the school nurse sent out an email to everyone apologizing that she accidentally sent out a letter to everyone through the system and in trying to fix it, sent out three more, LOL

Glad it was just a system error! People don't realize how important these are until they're needed! At camp over the summer, I can't tell you how many kids we had to send out to urgent care or ER and when we check, lo and behold, no permission to treat form filled out or insurance card on file. So then the parents are hurriedly printing and emailing the documents while their kid sits with a fracture, sprain, high fever, or whatever.

as a long time migraine suffer who gets the spectrum of symptoms from "Alice in wonderland" type aura to puking my guts out to my teeth feeling like they all need to be pulled when i'm getting a bad one, i have to supress my eyeroll reflex when a kid comes in saying they have a "migraine" that is suddenly healed in time to go to lunch/ recess. The noisy cafeteria/ playground *should* be the last places you want to go.

2nd grade student presents after licking paint brush covered in black paint. After he brushed his teeth and tongue, I asked "Any reason you decided to eat paint today?"

him: My little brother dared me. I'm a daredevil.

me: You're little brother is 1, he didn't dare you to do anything.

him: well then it was because I'm bad at making good choices

yes...yes you are...C'Mon Now!

Not only do I cringe everytime I am asked for medical advice from other adult staff, but today I was asked to diagnose a wound infection on a dog from a picture...that's right a dog...C'Mon TGIF

did not think staff could outdo themselves so quickly...but they did. "Do you think you could interpret a dream for me?" A dream, ðŸ¤¦*â™€ï¸, good news the psychologists office is right next to mine, and I decided to share the nonsense love...he may never speak with me again! C'mon now

4th grader: "The floor fell on my face"
Me: ...stunned silence... huh? What on Earth do you mean the FLOOR (points to floor) fell on your FACE?!
4th: Not that floor (points down) THAT floor (points up)
Me: The ceiling? That's a ceiling, not a floor. Also HOW?!?
As it turns out, he stood on a counter to attempt to fix a ceiling tile and it fell on his face. At least this time he wasn't climbing into the ceiling...C'Mon Now!

Maybe he is chicken little?
