I hate the way mds do this. We have been experiencing this "call us for anything unusual" US: "What is unusual?" THEM: "Fever, throwing up, gi distress, skin not healing, etc etc etc" US (calling due to several of those). THEM "Oh there is a flu going around call us back if it gets worse (after her throwing up 6 times and having diarrhea and so on)
THEN when we go in for an appointment, she describes a really really bad skin reaction she endured (which 2 of them saw the beginnings of and made no mention of) said "Why didn't you call us? That is not usual. Call us for anything unusual"

I walked out in order to not punch him.
