I would just like to say the med tech at that school was great.  She did a great job monitoring my child’s blood glucose, keeping track of supplies and contacting me when needed. She was also very patient when my child started doing some of the diabetes tasks themselves and it took forever!

The RNs that had oversight were all over the place.  One was horrible and did not even check my childs blood glucose when she was in the office with a stomach ache.  My child threw up and was dangerously low when i arrived at school.

Make good friends with the med tech.  They are the ones doing the actual care.  You want to feel comfortable with this person. [/quote]

I'm really glad to hear that there are some medical expectations attached to that position.  The techs (is there a different between health tech and med tech?) at our ES have called me or DH so many, many times over the years for playground accidents and refused to give us any information at all.  I think it's a liability thing.  The school wants to get sick or injured kids back in the hands of parents asap without prejudicing anything about diagnosis or action, and so they ultimately refuse to give not only advice but even context, even where an adult saw the incident occur.  Sure, I'll pick up my kid on your say-so, but it's pretty hard to rely on their account alone to decide what to do next.  So I hope that the tech staff are at least providing competent, necessary help to kids who are in predictable need of medical support.[/quote]
