Parents,
Never apologize for wasting our time when a child “only has a cold”. We’re happy to be here for peace of mind. It’s what we do.

I don’t think I’ve ever once been ‘bothered’ that someone came in to have a medical issue addressed, ‘trivial’ or not...
...& my most common response when someone apologizes is:
“I’m glad you come in...if there’s something that worries you, I want to know about it! 😌”
@Docsocksomaha
Yup. The discussion on use of saline and why antibiotics aren’t indicated and not to use otc meds and what to look for to return...plus the work and sleepless nights the parents experience.

Doc..i have this serious problem and i need your medical advice. During the fall and winter, I bleed purple. I dont know why and in the summer I bleed orange and black..
