Ped Tales

As most of you know it's that lovely time of the year...no, not fall I mean yes, it is fall but that's not what I'm talking about.  It's FLU season...oh just the very words could give you the aches, chills and headache!  As for my present place of work ~ the good Dr. B's office...let's just say we're popping every living human being 6 months and up!  

Oh it's fun...SOO fun that they are training lil' ol' me to do flu SHOTS.  Yep, that's me...in the office...with a needle.  What?? What's that face for??  You mean you wouldn't let your little one be vaccinated by a rookie? Shoot.  I'm good ya know for someone who's only be working there for 4 months.  I'm steady too...promise.  I've given a couple so far and everyone still has the use of their limbs and there was NO blood even!!  

And today, today they let me give an allergy shot.  Yah, I'm all cool and stuff giving shots subqutaneously and all.  The girl didn't even flinch...or fall over...or go into anaphylactic shock!!!  Whoot, I totally rock!

I know, pretty pathetic I have to toot my own horn but you know...I'm desperate.   

Sooo, when can I schedule you an appointment??!!  :D

      

Ped Tales

I've had so many fun and interesting experiences as a Medical Assistant in a Pediatric Doctor's office.  The whole work world thing is different for me since I've been a SAHM for...well, for a long time now and I have loved every minute of it!  So, in this wonderful new job I have, I thought it might be kinda sorta a hoot to share some of the funny stories from my job every once in a while...so entitling them "Ped Tales".  :)  Ahem.

Recently in The Office, we have begun to do urine tests on all kids 6 years old and older.  This makes for me seeing A.L.O.T. o'blessed pee pee.  Hmm, nice.  

The other day, the receptionist told the next patient's mom that he would have to pee in a cup.  She said "ok".  To which the patient's brother replied..."If he drinks that, I am SO out of here!!!"  :D
