Teachers ordered not to risk touching children
Teacher: can I speak with Mr. Smith
MS: Speaking
Teacher: Rachel just had a little accident, and until the ambulance arrives, I need your consent to treat her and stop the bleeding.
MS: what happened? Sure sure, just go and treat her. Is she OK?
Teacher: Its pretty serious and shes lost lots of blood, so can you please give me your fax number so that I can send you the forms allowing me to treat her in case of emergency
MS: just go and treat her
Teacher: I am very sorry sir, but I cannot without a formal waiver. You see we are restricted by government legislation from touching anyone without all paperwork done in advance
What a good match to the policemen who did not save drowning child so as to comply with health and safety regulations.
