Please please please do not say the word "die" in front of a child!! It's been a very emotional draining week for us, and I had to do some investigative work to link it back to the conversation with the provider.  Me "We don't normally do antibiotics, however strep is just something we don't mess with. I know kids with pans/pandas"  Nurse practitioner "yes, and even kids have died from strep"   In the moment I didn't think anything of it, but after experiencing my child coming to me in a ball of tears saying he thinks he's going to die, I finally was able to link it back to this conversation that I didn't think he was paying much attention to.   So for the future when dealing with children, the staff needs to be better about the language they use.
