Don’t make a Dr’s appointment the first day your 17 year old tells you his wrist has been hurting "for a while". Here’s what will happen-
You’ll call to make the appointment, spend 10 perfectly good minutes of your life on hold listening to Kenny G, you’ll take time off of work, sign your child out of school, and head over to your Dr.s office where there will be about 7 old ladies wanting to know how soon they could get a flu shot on a walk in basis. Finally it will be your turn, and the nurse will ask your son-“On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being very painful, how would you rate the pain in your wrist?”
Can you guess what your son will say? “Um, like 1 I guess. Maybe less.” Then you'll try really hard not to strangle him.
You know what has healing powers for children? A doctor’s appointment. Just the call. You don’t even have to set foot in the office for the magical medicinal effects.
