Not all heros wear capes

Published

Saved a life yesterday, Guys.

Girl comes in wearing her PE uniform and is on the verge of hysterical. Marks on both legs, deep blue. Tells me it was on her hands too a little while ago. FREAKING OUT about this skin condition that is spreading. No where else on body is affected.

I give it a long look and ask "Did you wear new jeans today?"

Yes, yes she did. Advised her to wash her pants before wearing again. I love my job.

You definitely need a cape for snatching that kid from the jaws of death. Maybe a mermaid cape.

Maybe, but this kind of power tends to be non-transferable

The PE teacher came with her because this girl was seriously freaking out. The shade did resemble cyanosis.

You sure you can handle that? ;)

I had a kindergartener come in the other day with a teacher, who was in a panic because of this bright red rash on his face and arms. No itching, no pain, but sure enough, kids arm was covered in spotches of bright red, and a few spots on his face. I took a look and then noticed his fingers were dirty, so I pulled out a baby wipe and started wiping his fingers, and then his arms. Walked him right back to class "cured". He played in his older sister's red hair dye the night before. That was a close one... :whistling:
