How does it work at your schools?
If a kid has a headache, does he get a pill?
Here, pain pills are handed out like sweets by the reception ladies.
And today, they handed out ASPIRIN to a 13yo girl, who had a headache and Hx of asthma, and allergic to aspirin, and then of course she got an astma attack.
By the time the PARENTS get the kid to the hospital, she is centrally cyanosed.
B-2's sorted it out.
Is it just me or was there almost 3 contra-indications in place to avoid this?
1 Sensetivity:excl: :excl: :excl:
2 <12yo (almost)
3 previous intake of similar drug
4 asthma:excl: :excl: :excl:
5 active ulcer
6 kidney problems
7 pregnancy
8 bleeding tendancy
So, do all of your schools have nurses-on-site? what else?
BTW, in case someone didn't know, Aspirin does not "thin your blood" (horrible term), it does not change blood viscousity.
EVERY layman thinks that for some reason.:sad:
