On a Roll !!!!

This week has been NUTS! I actually connected with 4 different MDs to give the school side of the story (with signed releases). Amazing how it differs from what the parent and kid say...

AND I had a kid an emergent, undiagnosed anaphylactic reaction with Epi and 911.

Good times!

The State of Maryland has made epi pens exempt of prescription to facilitate stock epi in every school. No need for a physician's prescription makes epipens for schools accessible to all schools. Wish every state had such forethought.

Hmmm. My state still requires me to have an order to give a student any OTC medication. I am lucky to have a school physician and standing orders.
