   At the risk of sounding trite... Non medical admin. really need to stay in their lanes. Things go sideways and we have to try and set it straight. It takes one penny to derail a train and takes several cranes to put it back on its tracks.

   Clinic Survey on school website

   CrazySchoolNurse replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School
