I had mailed asthma care plan to this particular parent who's daughter has asthma.

This is the care plan that the physician is to fill out and return to the clinic. Parents are supposed to bring an inhaler in so that we have it while kid is in school.

This care plan came in about a month ago, but no inhaler.

I just got off of the phone with the Mother. I told her that the order is here, and we are just awaiting the inhaler.

Mother states: Oh.... I thought the doctor would send you the inhaler too. What ???

Uhhh.....NO !! That's your job !

The inhaler is in the mail, in the same package as the immunizations.

Can they send you a Greek Salad with grilled chicken along with the inhaler/immunization packet?

Or, at least have them to throw in a fresh (or a little stale is ok too) supply of Saltines. And, if they send you too many to get used up before they have passed the point of therapeutic staleness- share some with Far. :yes:

Yes, Far to feed that. But, I am also thinking of your little darlings, because I wonder if you share your saltine supply very well with you little darling students. Just a thought.

My favorite is when the parent thinks I keep stock inhalers and can share them. smh

But wait- Then they might steal your sandwich at lunch!

I think I am getting all confused and cross-threaded. :dummy1:

Yep bell- You nailed it. You know me too well. :) I am watching the clock to know when to "pronounce" the poor little thing.

I have a kid allergic to bees. We have an allergy action plan in place for him, just no epi-pen. I, and the previous nurse, have called multiple times to ask her to send one to school. We have "stock" pens to use, but I can't send those on a field trip with him. Parents don't seem concerned. :grumpy:
