You know, hysterical hispanic syndrome. One pulled up today, almost drove straight through the double glass doors and comes running in with a child in their arms saying he's dying, somethings wrong. I get a look at the kid and he's a little pale, he's breathing and he's warm and dry. Kid proceeds to ralph all over the place and is looking around, he himself a little hysterical because of the parents and all the entourage who rode along. So to be nice, I take the kid back and get him all warm and cozy in a pedi bed with a blanky. The other 15 relatives all start the camp out/vigil in the waiting room which is now bursting at the seams.
Eye-yeee, eye-yeee, eye yeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

we usually count the "aye Dios mio's" per minute to gauge true hysteria
in our ER we call it status hispanicus
Ah, in ours it's the "Hispanic Panic." Seen frequently.
wouldn't it be nice if they realized bundling the child in 2 furry blankets really doesn't help that 105 fever?? dios mios!!
Parents will be parents! I'm not sure any amount of education will stop parents from panicking when a child is sick.
Bahaha sounds a lot like AAS. Acute Arabic Syndrome.
