I don’t catch on fast to hands on stuff

[Quasar44]

Ok , in my class we did the entire CPR heart thing and the next day we drew blood and did a turniquet


Is it normal to not catch on fast


I had extreme difficulty in remembering the CPR steps and my turniquit kept falling off

Then the baby cpr was totally different than the adult and really F me up

I even mixed up the right and left side for the defib

I did not know when you draw blood it has to
Follow the vein . I just closed my eyes and stuck it in

!! Is this S common sense or am I F in the head

Is this ^^^ a joke?

Why are you taking this class?

 

[Quasar44]

Now everybody in the class thinks i am F up on purpose for the laughs and an act

None of this S seems obvious to me and the teacher said I killed a few baby and adult dummies by doing the wrong steps

I am really trying super hard by sleeping and eating ok but it ain’t like easy

It ain’t easy

Tell your instructor it's entirely new to you and to explain it as though you were five. Or do some reading.

It's not a joke. This whack-job actually wants to work in healthcare.

It's terrifying.

Sounds like a drug problem. What are you on?

Perhaps seek employment where people’s lives AREN’T dependent on your competence.

Are you training to be a MA now?

Please reconsider your vocation. Some of these schools will pass anyone, and this is clearly not something you should be doing

Might want to take and keep notes and review them for mnemonics.

Nope. Blood is in the vein. Veins return blood to the heart. That is where you gotta go. If you just stick it in muscle, all you will hit are capillaries and you'll get nothing.

Yeah, that’ll work….

Hoping to get you as his first patient.

Don't feel too bad. I began studying medicine in around 1962 I think when I was 5.
I bought an encyclopedia (or my dad actually did).
So I know a bit more than the average person.
I usually quiz my (new) doctors just to see where they are at.

Last visit to my old family doctor, they had a trainee there fresh out of medical school. I guess she was there to observe.
So while alone, I asked her what I thought was a very basic question any doctor would know, something I learned as a little kid just reading a department store medical book: how many bones are in the human body. All people end up to have 206 bones once they grow out of infancy.

The woman's answer: "I don't know, I didn't go to school to be a orthopedic doctor."

Now, as a little kid, I thought the body was fascinating, but I grew out of it into more science-related fields. You would think a person interested enough to take up medicine as a career would at least know the basic details. In my life, I always strived to know more, to be better than I needed to be. But apparently you can go clean through medical school now as a general practitioner and still never even learn simple facts I picked up as a small child reading just for fun.

Every time you tell this story you sound stupider and stupider

Knowing how to be a good practitioner of medicine (or nursing for that matter) isn’t knowing anatomical trivia.

The fact that there’s 206 bones in the adult body is a piece of trivia.

I’m sure that tidbit of info is mentioned in passing at some point in med school. Do med students need to remember it to be good at their profession? Of course not.

In what scenario is that piece of trivia useful? Are doctors scanning bodies and going “uh oh, this guy only has 205 bones”?

It may be a bit of trivia to you, but I am a man of facts and figures. As a kid, I first began familiarizing myself with the various systems of the body, starting with the most global facts about each. Such as the skeletal system, the circulatory system, the nervous system, and so on.

But then, I was only 5-6 years old. Indeed, the only one sounding stupider and stupider here is you.

Maybe sometime, you'd like to have a discussion on the endoplastic reticulum and golgi complex, or the differences between mitochondrial and nuclear dna.

I guarandamntee you that if I attained a medical degree, any kind of degree, that I'd know simple things like the simple number of bones (after all, I'm expected to be familiar with most every individual bone or group of bones), and would have a better answer to deal with a patient question of something he learned as a kid. If nothing else, the number would at least stick with me, considering that a great deal of medicine involves wrote memorization.

I would at least know the number was somewhere around 200.

BTW, I'm not a pilot neither, but I still know what TRSBMLS is.

Nor was I ever a geologist, but I know the three basic rock groups and can tell the difference between hornblende and orthoclase.
