Mostly a rant but I feel as if a depressingly large percentage of presentations to the peds ED are just cases of parents who can't parent. Even moreso than on the adult side of things.
Just came off a 8hr shift in the peds ED and the last 3 patients I saw had chief complaints of 'dry skin', 'running nose x 1d' and 'won't tie shoes'. The last parent though their 7 year old's refusal to tie shoes was 'new onset autism'.
I mean I guess I should be thankful the kids are okay and I havent had to code one in a few months but jeez this ESI 5 **** is soul crushing.
