This just happened!!

Published

Second grader sent to my office by a teacher due to complaints of left arm hurting. I look at her arm and see a quarter size light red spot on forearm, no swelling, no pain with ROM. Ask if she bumped it or fell. She tells me "No, I was putting my other elbow on it while I did my work and it hurts now." OMG!! REALLY!! Then STOP doing that if it hurts! :banghead: This is only the students fourth day of school!

Is this a new teacher?

Also I like to imagine there is a cat working in the nurse's clinic because of your profile pic.

Tell them to try it on the other arm and then they will match.:up:

You would think it would be a new teacher, but no, she's been teaching 20+ years. And the cat picture is my fur baby! I actually got him from a student's family last year. They got too busy to take care of him. I kept the name the Kindergartener had given him since he was already two years old, Mr. FooFoo:cat:

First of all, Mr. FooFoo is a doll :)

And ROFL about the arm :)

That's about as much of a 'problem' as a resident I have who, while I was doing something with his roommate, said "WHY did my butt hurt when I was in the dining room?". I said "Does it hurt now?", and when he said no, I said "That's a good sign! Were you sitting in a hard chair?". (Puzzled expression). "No, it was... blue". Well, needless to say, no rushing to the ER with posterior pain.

Chair blue? Butt blue? Other blue things? :unsure:

I had a kid come in two days in a row for leg/hip pain.....denied injury. Walked into office fine.....more investigating and surprise, "criss cross applesauce" caused it :yes:
