Tonight's medical assistant class went really well. We were required to take full vital signs, plus height and weight; and whereas before, I had felt awkward as I took pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, I felt much closer to comfortable this time. In short, I'm getting there, and I'm starting to enjoy the class's practical aspects much more than before. Of course, I'm still making mistakes. I inadvertently told my "patient" that he was healthy, but you're not allowed to diagnose a patient in any way. That was a no-no, but I'm learning. I'm also interested in the science behind the medicine. There's a lot, even for a medical assistant, but it's been intriguing to explore this discipline. More to come.
