This past week while on vacation we had a minor emergency. One of our friend’s kids (who is 5) got bitten by a bug on the tip of her finger. Her Dad said – “I think it’s OK but show it to ERP, he a doctor, Sweetie.” Upon examining her finger, I remarked, “I don’t think it will fall off any time soon!” with a laugh. She said ” I WANT A SECOND OPINION!” and promptly marched over to my wife (who is also an MD) and showed it to her. She did a “more thorough” exam and proclaimed it a minor bite, sure to heal fine. Only then was the patient happy…..
The little ones are SOOO cute. My niece and nephew will come to me (the nurse) over Mom and Dad but Grandma trumps me every time!!!!!
Oh, now that’s just adorable. And I don’t even like kids that much.
Yeah, I get that crap from my kids, too. And my wife isn’t a doctor.
