It blows my mind, the model you guys have of actual medical care wrapped up with and done in schools. Here, you would not believe the hassle and bureaucracy associated with something as simple as your child needing to take an over the counter medication during school hours - paperwork, meetings parents attend, it has to be kept in the office and distributed by someone who's been agreed upon. A "school nurse" in Florida is basically someone who checks for head lice and decides whether or not kids who say they feel sick should be allowed to call home for someone to come pick them up.
