I Die

[coughdrop.2.go, BSN, RN]

Routine question to a student: Are you allergic to any medications?

Student: Yes

Me: Which one *sees chart says NKDA*

Student: All of them

M: All of them?

S: Yes. I do not like drugs in my body.

M: Are you allergic or do you just not like taking non-natural medications?

S: No I'm allergic.

M: What happens if you take a drug?

S: I die.

Me....okay go lay down in the cot room.

Happy Hump Day ya'll

I have so many more questions, but I had a line of kids waiting. Reminds me of when I was a camp nurse and I had parents writing milk allergy for lactose intolerance or meat allergy for vegetarian.

But who knows? This kid might actually die from acetaminophen or loratadine. I won't find out today.

I had a kid tell me the he was allergic to "GMOs". I was so confused. I tried to inquire further "But GMOs aren't an ingredient. It's not a single thing, it's different in different foods" But, alas, mom works at Whole Foods, so there was no reasoning with him.

Luckily, Whole Foods sells organic saltines. I suppose the district will have to pay for them as an accommodation. Have you written the 504 yet?

That's hilarious.
