Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

Back when I was subbing I had to run from the school to the field house for a kid that collapsed. Why they need a field house so dang far from the school is beyond me.

By the time I got there I was so dizzy, heartbeat in my eardrums, hands and feet tingling. I had to take a breather before I could even feel the kids pulse. (Which he had, thank goodness). A nice sternal rub and he was good to go. But I got my workout that day.

I now remember the field trip and Far singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me", or something like that. :whistling:

What the What?

I now remember that you talked about a field trip. And someone said you could sing "99 bottles of Beer".

So I figured you'd add a little spice and sing something different.

I see my attempt at humor has failed. *Sigh*

I love you, Sully.

But I cannot sing that to a bunch of 8th graders...

12yo comes in with belly ache, no temp, no distention or tenderness, no n/v states he has pancreatitis. After assessment and I'm returning him to class he says " if you don't send me home right now I'll have a heart attack in 5 min." C'mon now!

I told him to come back in 5 after he's finished with his heart attack. He never returned! LOL

Sounds like a 12 year old that's been browsing webmd too much.

Which while i'm sort of on point - don't you just loooove when the students come to you and try to use their friend's referral as compelling argument. "My friend Gina said that I have pink eye." Yeah, ok. Gina is nine. Go rinse it - Better? Yes?? Nice try, Dr Gina.

Don't mind me - i sprinkled extra snarky on my bowl of nails this morning at breakfast.

I read a great meme about WebMD:

WebMD is like a "Choose your own adventure" where the result is always death. ?

Spring break for us was the last full week of March. Too early for my taste. All the other schools around here were the following week.

This Friday is an institute day so I don't have to be here! Woo!

Had a kid tell me today that he threw up "24 times" this morning before school. Yet he hasn't thrown up since he got here 3 hours ago. Things that make you go hmmm.....

Had a kid with cyclic vomiting syndrome, this was common, though not quite that extreme.

I don't know what "fox tail balls" are... BUT I'M OUTLAWING THEM!

Three kids this morning already from gym with injuries.

Oh, and had a staff member come up and ask me if a place on her face was skin cancer.

No clue, you should get it checked out, I am not a pathologist nor do I have a microscope under my desk.

And speaking of under my desk, my small trash can that I brought from home is missing! C'mon now! It seems a lot of things are going missing from my office lately.

Sorry for the rants. BUT on the plus side: I opened a package yesterday addressed to hubs (I thought it was a new pulse ox that he was ordering for me) and it was a FitBit Charge HR!!! Apparently it was supposed to be my birthday present...whoops. I love it!
