His folks hadn't signed for his medicine that year, so she just sat there as he passed out:

so the school had the medicine, under prescription from his doctor in their control and would not authorized administration?

how about charges of a controlled pharmaceutical without authorization?

conspiracy to deny life threatening support

****ing pathetic

child endangerment

the list goes on and on

NOTE TO SELF: IF YOUR CHILD HAS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION LIKE THIS, DISOBEY ALL SCHOOL REGULATIONS AND HAVE YOUR CHILD CARRY THE MEDICINE ON THEMSELVES REGARDLESS OF THE "CONSEQUENCES".

Sadly, this is not a new issue. Back in the early 80's my wife had a run-in with the administration in high school regarding legal diet pills. But at least that wasn't a life or death matter.

Of course the administration of that school proved that if you were too worthless to even teach, you went into administration. The principal of our high school was an absolutely worthless piece of ****. And that SOB's name is burned in my memory to this day over.

I think a complaint to the state nursing board, along with charges pressed against the nurse for not performing life saving measures should follow. That nurse should NEVER be allowed to practice medicine again

Yep. We know that policy and procedure trump law and constitution so suck it.

Seriously, she definitely should be reported to the state board of nurse examiners. She might get to keep her license, but she will have to grow a brain and some ethics in the meantime to do so and learn that her duty is to her patient. Nursing boards don't like nurses who endanger patients.

Public school = child abuse Take your kids out NOW. I can't believe people still send their kids to these prisons willingly.

My girlfiend is an allergy doctor. I forwarded this to her. Here is her response:
"We get ridiculous responses from some of the schools. I have to sign the form and the parent has to sign it. They will suspend kids who have their medicine in their bags without the proper forms completed. Some schools have 3 forms per drug. A prescription should suffice. One school nurse wouldn’t give a kid his medicine because <other allergist> signed the school form and the pharmacy had put <other Allergist's husband who is a dermatologist> name on the label on the medicine. The mother had to go to the pharmacy to get a new label with Becky’s name on it. We started charging for every form we have to complete—not to make money but to try to get the parents to protest the school policies."

Our local school board wouldn't let my son carry his Epi-pen, despite specific instructions from his doc that he had to CARRY it. They were going to lock it in the health office, and the nurse was only there 1 day a week. I held him out of school for a few days and threatened all kinds of things - and meant them - until they changed their mind.

One day into the yell-fest, I discovered that Louisiana has a law about such things (pdf): http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/assets/oph/.... Took the school board 2 more days to look this up and follow the law.

High school senior dies from asthma because the school wouldn't call an ambulance (New Orleans, 1990s):

10yo dies from asthma at school, meds available but not administered (Tacoma, WA 2009):

As of November 2011, every state had a law allowing kids to carry asthma and anaphylaxis meds while at school: http://www.aanma.org/advocacy/meds-at-sc....
