Knowing and observing all the things that can go wrong in the human body makes me appreciate every day that my body does work correctly. I don’t know what EMT training entails, but I know studying my med-surg for nursing was fascinating stuff. I’d love to take a specific-to-trauma course!
Me too. EMT training is all about addressing the major problems quickly, assessing, interventions, packaging, and transporting. I suspect for major incidents, it feels kind of like handling a crash landing.
Trauma is fascinating. Horrifying in many ways, but truly fascinating what the body does to compensate and attempt to recover. Illness is a bit less interesting to me, but the body processes are still interesting.
i’m enjoying the blog. i enjoyed the trauma patients and neuro patients the most when i worked in a hospital. all the things that can go wrong in the brain…
when i took genetics, i had a similar amount of awe that any baby is ever born healthy. if i hadn’t been going towards PT, i’d have gone into genetics.
Paul is that guy you see in a coffee shop staring out the window, idly scratching the tip of his nose, and humming the theme to an animated Disney movie while his Apple portable is humming happily in front of him. He climbs, hikes, backpacks, skis and loves the outdoors. If you're not into sarcasm, Monty Python, or puns you may never get a single one of his jokes, which populate his speech like streams of antimatter through dilithium. Oh, and he's a geek.
