5 gruelling days later
5 written tests later
3 practical assessments later
and i have passed and finished Aviation Medicine. (god i can even deliver a baby now)
got 100% for my final exam.
the rig assessment we had was hilarious...nerve wrecking before hand but so funny when we look back.
our group of 4 had to deal with an economy class passenger who had taken an overdose of heroin, and still had the needle stuck in his arm. half way through treating him, he went into convulsions, and we had to get a medically qualified volunteer from the passengers to come help, whilst on the phone to medlink. apparently i was the only person in the whole class who did not follow the volunteers advice to move the patient to the floor to treat and they were really impressed at how i stood up tot the doctor. (either way is correct but it is safer for all concerned to leave him lying across the seats as we were diverting and had to land and you cant strap him inn on the floor.)
so got some brownie points there.
everyone did really well...and we all passed. so all going out for drinks tomorrow to celebrate.
tomorrow is cabin resource management and then the beginning of cabin safety. the toughest 2 weeks of my career. apparently its hell and its not uncommon to lose one from the group during this phase.
but NO STUDY TONIGHT !!!
