I am subbing at the kinder school today. I rec'd an e-mail from my boss with a message similar to this, "Little Darling is not to see trainer for anything. I will tell you more tomorrow." Knowing the history between trainer and this LD, I wasn't to worried. Then I got an e-mail from LD mother. This e-mail was addressed to myself, trainer, athletic director and the principal with a detailed time line from 3/29/18 until yesterday. The last thing in the time line was 4/17/18 "he asked for Ice and was refused."
LD has recently had a concussion due to an incident on the bus to the soccer game and was involved in an ATV accident in which he sustained a fractured collar bone and shoulder. After seeing him twice yesterday for OTC pain meds student came in because he was still hurting. I did offer ice, but was out so I instructed him to go see trainer for ice. Well, apparently LD and trainer got cross ways about concussion protocol (according to e-mail) and then the trainer treated mom poorly when she attempted to talk to him. Now mom is hot and involved everyone. There is a long history with the trainer and LD that is not good.
Don't think I did anything wrong, but with the current climate in the front office I am worried that anything will get me in trouble. (My direct Supervisor is not to concerned or she would have called me here instead of waiting until I am on campus tomorrow.) I hate when I second guess my actions. I treat everyone the same. I did not do anything with LD that I would not have done with anyone else in the same situation.

I don't like my trainer, FWIW. He thinks he's a doctor.
