I guess I was so caught off guard because we've been to the ER dozens of times with each of our kids and were never contacted by the school nurse after a visit until now. [/quote]

This jumps out at me.  If you've been at the ER dozens of times for multiple kids without diagnoses, then something is really wrong.  I can totally see them calling in extra support.  [/quote]

Dozens of times to the ER with each kid is an awful lot.[/quote]

This is the OP...nothing is wrong and dozens of times with each kid may seem like a lot to you, but that's you. For a family with asthmatic kids or kids who suffer from diabetes, seizure disorder or certain blood disorders, it's not a lot. We are not all the same, so please stop being judgemental and dramatic.[/quote]

NP. Daughter of an ER nurse. You said you’ve taken your kid to ER for ingrown toenail. That is concerning. Rashes and strep throat also don’t call for ER visits. Your lack of judgment causes issues for when kids are really sick. [/quote]

You're the daughter of an ER nurse, but do you have children? I would guess not.

Yes....you're right, the ingrown toenail was concerning...that's why we went to the ER. And in case you missed it, it took a SURGICAL procedure (DONE IN THE ER) to correct the problem. One of the rashes was suspected to be MRSA and the child was admitted, and for the instance of strep throat, the child woke up with a very high fever and we didn't know what was going on...so yes, out of concern, we went to the ER. And also...for all of you know-it-alls....urgent care is a relatively new healthcare option that wasn't available when our oldest kids were infants/toddlers. [/quote]
