Resetting dislocating WHATS?

Published

So this afternoon I sat in on an IEP for a new preschooler. Mother sts child frequently has finger joints dislocate and would like for us, the school staff (ie ME) to fix it whenever that happens. Principal sees that as a liability and sts we need to call 911 in any instances, mother is very disappointed in that decision, as she sees it to be very easy to relocate said joints and that the child is in a lot of pain until that happens. Obviously I have to go with whatever the bossman says, but what do you think, would you do it?

What if the Mom is the OP's Boss' Boss? I just thought that was funny. :roflmao:

District Rep (principal was out of the building) instructed mother to get written order from doctor on what would need to be done in this event and we would review it, but I just shook my head. Since mom is comfortable doing it herself, is it inappropriate to say then we will call YOU to do it, if you refuse a 911 call.

Perfectly appropriate - Just make sure she signs liability waivers!
