Had a student walk in and tell me that she "broke her finger" I assessed and let her know what I was checking for. No redness, swelling, bruising or disfigurement of any kind. Full ROM. Good grasp. She was unable to describe the accident that had broke said finger to me. After she said, " I still think I need to go home" I gave her the magic ice pack, sent her to class with instruction to come back and see me immediately if anything changes. 20 minutes later, she walks in with a funky yellow discoloration of the "affected" area. She said, "see now its bruised" I replied, " oh my that looks pretty serious, let me put some of this on it." I grabbed a bottle of H202 and a cotton ball. I proceeded to wipe the "broken finger" Amazing the bruise wiped right off! I held the cotton ball up and asked, " Want to tell me anything?" She just shook her head and walked out of my office. Another miraculous recovery!!!

Life saver!!

I will admit my favorite rashes and bruises are the ones I can wipe away with water lol

Student has dry skin in the corner of her mouth. You know the kind, when it feels like if you yawn you're going to split your whole face open?

Yeah. English teacher told the student she has herpes.

:eek: Did NOT see that last sentence coming! I would have had to kindly remind the teacher, I (with my nursing degree and experience in the medical field) can not diagnose anyone and that s/he should probably avoid it as well. :rolleyes:

Y'all. Have I got a story for you!!! :yes:

Had a student fall and break their arm last Friday. I'm talking no need for an x-ray, you can clearly see the deviation in the ulna!! Poor kid! Unfortunately, I was on one of my other campuses so our admin assistant had to handle the situation (she did phenomenally, btw!). When she contacted the parents, SURPRISE! No answer. She called the babysitter who informed her the parents were out of state and that she was "a long way away". Admin assistant informs her that she doesn't care how far away she is because the students HAS to go to the ER and have her arm checked out. Babysitter huffs but agrees to come get the student (an hour later, mind you :rolleyes: ). Fast forward to Monday when admin assistant follows up with student. After they left the school on Friday, they went to eat something (because the babysitter's lunch had been interrupted and she HAD to eat first), then they went home where the babysitter called and made an appointment for....wait for it.....THE CHIROPRACTOR. :eek: Yes. You read that right. This dummy made an appointment for the student's chiropractor. :banghead: The student then goes on to say that the chiropractor was "really mad" that they were there. Well duh. I'm so glad he was like "uh no. get out of my office right now and go to the ER". :wtf:

I'm still super heated with this situation. :madface:

WOW! However, I can hear some of my teachers here popping off to certain students on my campus (HS). Most of the time it will be with kids they have a good relationship with, though. They seem to know who they can cut up with and not most of the time.

C'Mon Now.....

Little Darling: Do you know what this bump is?

Me: No. (All you can see is a bump. No C/O pain. No redness. Said it just showed up.)

LD: (after some investing questions) Do you think it could just be a "fatty tumor"?

Happy Pep Rally Friday!!! :banghead:

I am trying to go to lunch and a teacher brings me one that has had a rash all semester she said. I look at the childs arms and quickly I realize this is no ordinary rash. I take an alcohol wipe and bright pink marker comes off. I said well if shes had this rash all semester then she colors on her arms everyday. Come on Now!
