Good Afternoon!

My name is Patti and I am a Medical Assistant Wanna-Be!!
Would you let me stick a needle in your arm for purposes of drawing blood for practice??

/stands on soapbox

Every school is like this. I love how education institutions at one point had "standards". Now every school/vocational school/trade school will take you if you have a pulse and can pay tuition. When I was in culinary school we would have students show up who didn't shower, or change their clothes from the day before. I mean, disgusting. It was more important to them, and I quote "when the next jay-z is gonig to "drop"" than doing their homework. I mean, it's not like it's important to know what temp to cook chicken to. It's not like you could kill someone. No wait.... I would totally not let some shakey hand person who sleeper stick me with a needle. Ohh, and btw, certain right you cannot sign away. Negligence is one of them. So if you get sick or hurt or injured @ school, find a lawyer.

I don't need a soapbox cuz' I am wearing highheels! :)

I hear you on all your views!!

I might have made my "blood" class sound more sinister than it really is, but there are a few issues I am concerned with, which are those that I mentioned.

As for the signing off on the medical accidents, from memory the form said "school will not be responsible for any medical costs".

Didn't say I can't sue their pants off, right?? :)
