I’m so glad we’ve finally finished this ACLS programme. It was quite fun retrospectively. Heh.
On day one, everyone had trouble starting their mugging engines… and when we finally slit open the plastic covering of the beautiful ACLS book (cum CD) [only a certain healthcare grp got the originals, the other got the photocopied version. Hah], we were horrified at the immense amount of knowledge we were expectd to incorporate into our very ‘rotted’ brains. Anywayz, soon we realised it’s more chong hei than the most chong hei of our textbooks, causing me to doperise by the 4th sentence!
On day two, we started some practicals and things began to liven up a bit. First, people were running around like headless chickens. Something you do not want to see in real life. Heh. But will still happen ok… But ACLS will definitely minimise its occurence!
On day three, some chickens found their heads… Fewer people were getting pseudo-defibrillated and people were vomitting dosages of lignocaine, amiodarone, atropine and all that jazz.
The MCQ tests were what would fluctuate between a farce or an ultimate disaster. It’s really easy, especially the AED one… The ACLS one wasn’t that horrid, though I have to give some credit to extensive extra-ocular movement and lots of brain power… LOTS ok!
