Oh happy days!

Sometimes I wonder if teachers put any thought into "randomly" assigning us fake patients or practice problems.  Today was IV catheter lab day.  We got these practice "patients" (a fake problem basically and mine was a 2lb 2oz kitten.  I looked at it and just smiled.  Oh man...imagine trying to stick an IV in this for reals!  Im sure this wouldnt be your run-of-the-mill cephalic (arm) catheter...an umbilical maybe?  So I placed my catheter on my dummy leg perfectly (thank you Banfield.  Yes I was paying attention!)

The downside to today was that I didnt trust myself.  I had everything correct the first time but didnt think that maybe everyone else just didnt do the math as fast.  I second guessed myself a bunch but wait...I was right.  My drips per second were pretty crazy although Im not sure if dead on.  However, once I found out what the machine wanted, I got that right on.  Mega win for me...the girl incredibly horrible at math!

Anyway...this week is teacher appreciation week and the front desk is giving out these little things where you can write nice things about your teachers.  I have a feeling that Ms. L and Dr. R wont get any.  This makes me sad.  Yes both are strict but isnt the real world strict too?  Ms. L isnt even that bad.  She just had to teach the hardest term and chose to be the bad guy.  Whatever.  I think she is cool.  Dr. R?  Well its her first year teaching...give her a break!  Anyway she is pretty cool too.  The one thing I really love about her is that she is into Chinese medicine.  WHAT!!?  Absolute love!  I know she thinks we all think she is crazy for the things she says but really...Im SO glad to have her come into my life.  Im glad to know that not all doctors in general practice dismiss, if not shun, holistic medicine.  I think Im going to write them all a nice love note.  Why?  Because I love all my teachers.  Yes there are things I dislike about some but in reality...they are the ones helping me set in stone my future.
