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.

Parent comes into my office yesterday. Wanted to see if I could take care of her. Hand is wrapped in a towel, which she unwraps to show me the screwdriver impaled all the way through and out of the other side of her hand! Decided to drive to school, get her 8th grader, and then come to see me. Sure, let me set up my sterile field and draw up my stock lidocaine so I can numb you up before I pull the screwdriver out and mess up one of your nerves or an artery!

Seriously, c'mon on!!!!

Claims was screwing something into an overhead cabinet. Even if your hand holding the screwdriver slipped, I would think you would simply scratch your other hand. How could that have such a force that the screwdriver would be impaled through your hand? Kind of a screwy home situation and I would bet either husband or mother-in-law (who lives with them) somehow did it to her. Or, she somehow did it to herself for attention. Like I said it is a very screwy home situation...

Sad, thanks, I can't see that as accidental, either.

I thought the 15 self inflicted staples in the leg was way up there but the screwdriver through the hand takes the prize. That is pretty C'mon on now!!
