    I would give parents the option. Let them know that she will be separated from the kids if they choose to bring them, but sadly she has already been around them and exposed them. That way they feel they have some say in the matter. Maybe some of them can stay home or choose to have a relative or friend keep them for the day. I just wouldn't charge those parents for that day given the circumstances, unless you normally still charge for your closures.

      Everything I have read says the culture should be ready to read in no more than 2 days, not 5. Find another Doctor because their office failed the test IMHO.

      I agree on that part but where do I report this doctor. I feel that she didn't do her job. After I told her I run a daycare and that I needed the results a.s.a.p. she just said I will try my best. I called Friday and then Monday and still nothing then I get a call in the yesterday saying she was positive, then refuses to call in the prescription like are you serious :confused:
      Just read this.. so your daughter has a positive result for strep and Dr. refused to give her antibiotics? Strep is serious stuff.

      "If untreated, strep throat can sometimes cause complications such as kidney inflammation and rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to painful and inflamed joints, a rash and even damage to heart valves. "

          Omg so sorry that happen...

          Last week I had step throat (Tuesday) got on antibiotics, my daughter started having same symptoms so I called doctor same day and was told to go the next day in the morning 10:30am. We go in doctor Checks her and says "oh yes she has signs" so she did the swam culture to send it away. I asked if she can give her something in case she did have it. I explained to her that I ran a daycare and didn't want her to expose the children. (Btw I closed dc as soon as I found out I had it) she said "no" we walked out of there furious. So Thursday passed Friday came I called and no results, the weekend passed then Monday came and I opened. I called first thing in the morning and nothing no results, so my daughter was around here and there, at that point I figured she didn't have it. So Tuesday came and called and still nothing, hours later I get a phone call from doctor saying it came back positive, I was like are you serious?! She's been near these children. All she said was to that the prescription will be ready for me to pick up. So I told her "ok I m on my way to the doctor when I get out I will go pick it up" at 12:20pm I was still at the doctors and figure I wasn't going to make it since they close for lunch at 12:30. I call and left a message with the clerk to please call in the prescription, doctor got on the phone and told me "mam I don't have time to do that but I will try my best" I explained to her again that I run a daycare and can't just leave whenever I want. She was like whatever (this was Tuesday) so i go to the pharmacy around 8:30pm figuring she had called around 5pm well to my surprise.... Nothing. I called the next morning and clerk said "she called it in and left a message" so I asked "can she fax it better" because pharmacy never received a message. So doctor faxed it over around noon, I didnt pick it up because I had all children and couldn't leave. I waited until 6:30pm when all kids were gone and went to pick it up. My daughter started her antibiotics last night but been in her room.
          So that was the whole story and I sure will report this. I feel that she failed in many ways.
          What do you think?
