Who is doing the operations, Don? The school nurse with the cafeteria staff handing them scalpels and shit?? Band teacher anesthesiologist. OK I'm done.

That's quite a step up from school nurse when I was a kid. You'd come in there bleeding to death and she'd give you a Tylenol and send you back to class.

Wow, that's quite a step up from school nurses here. We can't even give kids any medication that wasn't provided, with a prescription, by the parents.

Tylenol? Nope. You get a bag of ice wrapped in a paper towel, a large bathroom to vomit in, a thermometer, and a napping table with a privacy curtain that almost reaches all the way around it.

Shit, tons of districts aren't even fully staffed with school nurses anymore. They often only have a few nurses that rotate between schools, so any given school only has a nurse on site one or two days a week. It's actually a huge problem because there's nobody available to dispense prescription meds for kids that need them, so either the teachers (who aren't trained or equipped for this) have to help out or the kids have to self-medicate.
