[quote=Anonymous]I probably shouldn't be annoyed by this, but I kind of am.  I got a call from the clinic aid an hour after school started that DD was there.  Apparently she had been itching her eye in class.  We were told it was draining and a bit crusty and that we needed to come pick her up right away and get a note from the doctor that it wasn't contagious.  All I could think was crap, now we're all going to get pink eye.

DH picked her up and there is absolutely nothing wrong with her eyes.  They both look perfectly fine.  She says they don't itch.  DH asked if she told the nurse her eye was crusty or if the nurse asked.  She said the nurse asked.

I have 2 things going on here.  1st, DD wanted to stay home today and I believe she acted this up. And that I have to deal with.

But 2nd, shouldn't a clinic aid be able to look at her eye and see there is absolutely nothing wrong with it?  Are we really relying solely on the answers a 5 year old gives without having some corroborating evidence?  No visible signs of pink eye.  No signs of any illness whatsoever.

Perhaps I should ask about the onset of pink eye - can it start with just an itchy eye that goes away and then symptoms really kick in later?

What I'm annoyed about is that I now have to take her to the doctor and get a note that says she doesn't have pink eye when it's clear she never did in the first place.[/quote]
