A day in school

[hikagi]

Yesterday I spent the day learning how to conduct electricity through a human body without grilling hurting the person in your care and experiencing first hand how it feels like to be connected to a power cable. I could have done without the cramp in my leg when one of my partners turned up the current too high. We were supposed to feel the effect

All I ever did in school was read Latin and Greek. Controlling a person's body through the application of the proper electrical current is so much cooler! It's like Mad Scientist preparation.

Yeah, it felt a little bit like that :-) Next time we have electrotherapy I'll laugh madly whenever it's my turn to practice *laughs madly*

The real purpose of this particular modification of the current is to avoid amyotrophia when people can't move for a long time after an accident or to repair damage on nerves where they connect with the muscle.

Wow, that sounds interesting, and fun too! The finger thing made me laugh.

It was fun :-) The whole class laughed when they saw my fingers, incl myself :-)
