Quick: need a code word

or a code phrase......

The principal would like to come up with some type of code word or phrase, that teachers can use to alert ME that I need to call a students parent to see if they received their meds in the morning at home.

We have 2 very old (1800's) buildings so we communicate by walkie talkie or by this ancient call in the room thingy loudspeaker (no phones).

Any ideas? I am terrible at coming up with names of things....but this is **supposed** to make it easier for ME...LOL.

    We used to joke when I worked in a peds office that if a kid had crazy parents, we'd put a stamp of a peanut on the chart...and if they asked, it was "oh, it's because we just love your little peanut!" The code word isn't a bad idea, given your situation, though those who want it should probably have come up with it. I assume it's the ADHD/behavioral meds the teachers want checked on - just my department. :) Maybe Snickers? Hmm, little Johnny's really having a rough morning, maybe he needs a Snickers...LOL.

    Not all who pressure docs to look further are nuts. 2 docs and a very experienced NP missed my baby's appendicitis/peritonitis. It was discovered only with US. A flat plate missed it, VS were WNL and so I was irritating to them.

    Pediatrician was awfully sheepish afterwards. Good. Good reminder to her that she is fallible and I was not nuts.

    Not all who hover are "groundless", pun intended, LOL.

    Ever vigilant we must be. A 2nd look we must take. Pay attention to that "overly protective" person and don't get "know-it-all".
