Scabies baby

God a girl takes a few days off from blogging and is inundated with phone calls and text messages for angry readers. Well i haven't forgotten about all of you just been a little busy but hear is a funny story i though you might like. So of course i am at work last Friday and about 20 minutes before the clinic closes i get a phone call from a panic stricken women. i answer the phone and she whispers on the other end "Is this the nurse?' i answer yes how can i help you. Well she continues to say "I have a gross secret, my kid spent the night at a friends house and now i think he has scabies!" of course before i could control myself i blurted out "Oh God that is Gross" The mother continued to explain that she was making her seventeen year old kid stay in the garage until she could get a hold of the clinic and get some advise. Well the best advise i could think of was "well dont bring him here" Now as all good health care professional i passed this child on to another clinic to be evaluated. Poor poor after hours clinic. I gave her the name of the over the counter remedy and advised her how to clean the bedding Although the mother was horrified we had a good laugh about it at her son's expense. I just love when people call the clinic horrified over what they have found in or on their children.
