Eighth Day (Part 2)

She ended up (unregretfully) chickening out, but another student, we'll call him Heath, stepped up! Next stop, nasopharyngeal airway town!!!

We're ready.

Heath sat in a chair, and everyone gathered around. We were all excited. Another student, Reese, lubed up the airway device - which was HUGE. And then he just started it into Heath's nostril. Heath coughed, and his eyes started watering, but Reese unflinchingly continued on, perhaps a little quicker than he should have. The teacher's aide asked if he could see the device in the back of Heath's throat. Heath opened his mouth and gagged. It was so funny! Everyone else was really enjoying it too. The device was pulled out slowly, covered in blood. Oops.

Of course two students were recording, so it's on facebook. I'll have to get it.

Anyway, then we did more fun stuff: Glucose monitoring. I gut stuck 3 times. I stuck one girl. I was going to do another, but she was being scared. I got everything ready and was about to prick her finger, when she kept jerking it away. I calmly let her decide when she was ready, but she kept backing out. My teacher then took over and, when she was again "ready", he took her hand and held it down while he pricked her.

She complained about it hurting (it doesn't), and then cried later, because she was that scared. But she has pierced her own ears!! Girl.

Anyway, I got to prick another student...and promptly threw the needle in the trash (not the sharps container) like an idiot. But it was prefect otherwise, so I'm happy!!

Good day.
