What you absolutely should never say during a well child check to your child's pediatrician without risking the evaluation of your sanity.
(Pediatrician) I see your daughters left eye is red, if they start to develop discharge call me and I will prescribe an antibiotic.
(Crazy Me) you know I read an article about Ocular Herpes, it said you can pass the virus to the eyes from kissing someone and then they rub the virus in their eyes. My husband and I always kiss and hug our kids, and we've had cold sores, could she of rubbed her face at some point and developed ocular herpes?
(Pediatrician) Long pause with BLANK stare.....UM, NO...the likelihood is Pink Eye.
(Crazy Me) well I guess that's the end of that conversation! HA
