Once a belief is formed, the mind tends to stick to it, making it difficult to accept new ideas. Even the most intelligent people can be trapped by their previous conclusions, so it’s important to stay open-minded and avoid being influenced solely by popular opinion.
Let's have a reality check, you can't replace school nurses with Telehealth, they can work collaboratively, but offer much different levels of care. It is not either/or, it is both!
Telehealth Programs Are Helping to Put Healthcare on the School Curriculum https://t.co/4HAkH0FaCS

@drmaypole I vote reality check, swap school for DESE. It’s challenging for schools to keep up with the state regs for chronic absenteeism now. Most schools work with parents and allow a set # of parent excusals but if they exceed a % it’s almost out of their hands.
Reminder that your medical degree and/or employer won’t hold you at night after a horrible day or wish you happy birthday or remember your favorite things. Your SO, friends, & family will. Medicine, like everything else, is a job. Sacrificing your personal life isn’t worth it.
