Tonsils that look like lava
So we had a lab with three different stations. One was the Velscope and oral cancer detection device. It helps you see abnormal cells. I was the pt for part of the time. I was just about recovered from a cold so my tonsils had some pretty fun stuff in them. Apparently they were flaming red and looked like lava! That was kinda cool, as long as I know I dont have oral cancer! The next station was emergency situations. It was a really good review. We role played and I had to pretend like I was convulsing. Not such a great actress with this one I just verbalized it for the most part. The third and final station was wheelchair transfers. We pushed each other around the building. It was pretty sweet. Then we practice transfering each other. I must admit it was fun to be lifted up and put in the other chair. I felt pretty confident about it all. At the end I was practicing on someone and they had Mr. Solomon come in. He is a pretty good sized person. I felt like a fish in a fishbowl as everyone watched me move him from the wheelchair to the dental chair. It wasn't too bad a bit awkward but a good experience overall.
