Full Service Check Up

When I walked into Riley's room last night, I snagged my toenail and it broke off. Obviously it was pretty painful, but fortunately for me, Doc McRiley was there with her full doctor kit. And even more fortunately, her Princess Makeover tools have gotten mixed in with her medical tools. So the next 15 minutes consisted of:
  • A stethoscope check of my breathing and heart rate
  • A sloppy application of Princess lipstick (I feel confident this does not meets the sanitary expectations of current medical practice)
  • A check of my reflexes with a fairly firm hammer to the knee
  • A relaxing brushing of my hair
  • A check of my temperature (forehead, not the way we check Caden's temp.)
  • And a final diagnosis of "Ouchie-toe-osis", which according to the prescription written in her Big Book of Boo-Boos is apparently cured with a shot to the upper calf region, followed by a three-minute hair straightening session
I think we may be on to an entirely new business model here.

  1. Medicine and nursing have needed to evolve with the times, and it is apparent Riley is at the very forefront of this new model of care. The integrated care involved in 1st aid to toe and hair brushing and application of soothing balm to your lips is perfect!!
