I work in peds, as well, and truly cannot imagine having to call at night for every half liter adjustment! We usually have ranges and possible equipment...you do need a different order for a high...
I guess my first question is why you need English speaking patients? Does your school require a thorough interview of the patient? I also live in an area where at least half of my patients' parents...
