C'Mon Now!

Sort of a C'Mon Now, but also super cute!

An adorable curly haired kinder just skipped: My pinky suddenly started hurting when I took a bite of my hard boiled egg.

Me looking at perfectly normal pinky: Do you remember hurting it?

Kinder: No, it only hurt because of egg, you should tell my mom that I'm allergic to those things!

Did I miss the Dr. Oz episode that gave this crazy nonsense?

I have been getting Dr. Oz advice from people (and family) my whole career as a nurse. He's everyone's favorite doctor lol

Yes it obviously is a reason because I literally just rubbed lotion on a scaly elbow. Haha

So we are starting to see alot of Flu cases now and teachers are starting to freak out - I have seen about a dozen kids today for temperature checks because the kids are telling teachers they are hot or the teachers are using their thermometer hands to diagnose - so far all have had normal temps and all had on layers of clothing, sweatshirts and even a few jackets INSIDE the building - GRRRRR.....sometimes I wonder if these teachers have any common sense - tell the kid to take off a layer or two or their jacket and maybe they wouldn't feel hot!

Funny thing is, the CV surgeon I used to work with was the most humble man. He would defer any medical question save OHS for other specialists. He would say "I only fix hearts". Dr Oz could learn a thing or 2. Kind of scary what Oprah has produced, Dr Phil and Dr Oz.

Right?! I cannot believe how many "I'm cold" or "I'm hot" kids I see in a week! Put on a hoodie or take off a hoodie, it's not that difficult...

I understand that precious pumpkin pie is having a hard time with the crutches she just started using yesterday. However, I cannot give her my wheelchair to use for the next 6 weeks because then I will not have a wheelchair for emergencies.

Well we've got a fun new stomach bug at the school. I've had three kids vomit in my office. One little guy projectile vomited on my desk and all over the garbage can. Excuse me while I repeatedly sanitize everything.

I am feeling SO grateful right now. But I know....as the stomach turns.....

Ok, not school related, but at my LTC care job, a family member mailed "Cannibalm" to a resident in the memory unit. They live in state where it is legal.

These folks are in this unit because they have no ability to function independantly, so

mailing a tin of ointment with a cannabanoid they could apply or ingest is really a great idea!!!

Yikes!!!

I received a phone call right when I walked in

"My son saw the doctor yesterday and tested positive for Strep throat. He didn't have a fever so I sent him on the bus this morning. I'll drop off his prescription later today for you to give it to him."

C'MON NOW!!!

Oh jeez! I'm sure mom won't be reachable today, when you try to set things straight!
