| Abstract | When a kindergarten student is diagnosed with type-one diabetes, the parents of the child have to negociate with the school who will give him his insulin injections. Because there is no school nurse at the school he attends, the parents ask the child's teacher to be responsible for giving him his injections. Otherwise, the child's mother has to leave work to do so, and her employer is losing patience with her frequent absences. |
