Call Me A PinCushion!
Good Afternoon!
My name is Patti and I am a Medical Assistant Wanna-Be!!
Would you let me stick a needle in your arm for purposes of drawing blood for practice??
Okay......here is the scenario:
I am one of 11 students in my Phlebotomy Class. Obviously, we are still in the learning stages of this. This means, of course, that our hands might be shaking while we are holding a very pointed, sharp (did I mention deadly weapon?!) needle. Oh yeah......we are going to stick that needle into your arm and suck da blood out of you.
Of course....some of these students fall asleep at their desks.....come in with what seems like the clothes they slept in.......have shaky hands.......get the picture? Like I said....some...not all.
Yup.....we practice on each other. (Did I mention that we sign a form saying we will not go after the school if there is a medical problem that occurs from the drawing of blood?)
Would you let someone draw on you if you were uncomfortable?
