Doing this Standardized Patient Testing today. Basically it's an acting gig where we pretend to have certain symptoms for Med students to examine us, and today I had to have my melon poked and prodded all day for a Cranial Nerve Exam. All I can say is...wow...apparently there IS something to be said for getting through Med School on Charm alone, like the old Kids in the Hall sketch said...even though the 'gross' tests such as the Gag reflex test with the toungue depressor and the olefactory tests for sense of smell were supposed to be skipped each time, of course when there are students involved, screwups abound. The line of the day came from a barely fluent Hispanic soon-to-be doctor: 'Can you smell my hand?'
now pardon me while I go take a much needed 'rape shower.'
