Good to be wrong + Sim Man

Without thinking much about it, I just assumed that this block was 5 weeks long (like the last couple), plus another week for finals, meaning we'd have over 5 weeks left of the semester. However, I was reminded today that this block is actually only 4 weeks long, and we're over half way through the first week. So, we only have a month and two days left until 3rd semester is over!! In this case, it was very nice to be wrong!

Today, the people from Laerdal are coming to campus to show us the Sim Man. For those who don't know what sim man is, which is likely most of you, it's a training dummy that can do basically anything. He displays rhythms, responds to treatments, can be intubated, etc. etc. It's one of the best tools you could have for training, aside from real patients. The AMSA people were able to convince the company to come down and give the students and faculty a demo. Hopefully, a lot of the students will show up, the faculty will like it, and we'll wind up purchasing a bunch of them (at around $50,000 a pop). Apparently, the school is willing to make the investment if people here are interested. So, PLEASE show up and show that you're interested tonight. There will be free food!!!
