Medical School Equipment Should Be Updated All the Time
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Medical School is so hard. Not only does it last a long time, but school is different than it’s always been. You don’t only learn in the classroom, but you take your classroom to the real world; in a hospital. Your medical equipment is a person. You learn with real people, in a real setting. It must be kind of intimidating. I’m not a doctor, in case you thought I was speaking from firsthand experience, I wasn’t. I just think it’s interesting. Of course, some of the work is done in a classroom setting, which must be very expensive, because it’s not like other schools where you can buy a used, 2002 textbook for cheaper. I’m sure you have to have the most updated and refreshed book possible, because things are changing so often in the medical world.
Do you know that the Boston Tea Party happened because of a “patient” who was experiencing terrible pain, which came to be from gout? He failed to stop a passage of tax on tea in Parliament, and so we have it now, the Boston Tea Party. Imagine not having the ship in Boston Harbor that’s called “The Boston Tea Party?” What would the city look like without? Nowadays, gout can be taken care of through medication, eliminating nearly all of its signs. That’s just one instance, and that goes back a couple hundred years. Imagine all of the other ones that have happened between now and then, or even just in the last couple of years. Anyway, medical school equipment needs to be updated if it’s in the classroom, and if it’s the real life classroom, of a hospital, it should also be updated!
