Am I a trooper or what?

After being unemployed since her last employer dropped out of the school's program, Cindy was hired as a medical assistant at her interview yesterday. Her strong computer skills landed her the interview so we just assumed that her duties would be limited to the computer part of a Medical Doctor's office. Though computer is a big part of this job, it is a full medical assistant position. The kind that calls patients back, takes medical histories, does weight , blood pressure, and any other test that is needed. I was surprised because though I know that Cindy was taught many things last year, the goal of the class was to get the students State tested for a nurses aid position. I asked her last night how long it had been since she had done a blood pressure to which she answered months. Because I felt that she probably needed practice I decided to invest in a cuff to go with the two hundred dollar stethoscope that I invested in last year. She was happy with the purchase but needed a guinea pig. That would be me. Oh well , I thought, I gotta do what I gotta do. The problem lies in that I was then told that she would probably have to do finger sticks and maybe even draw blood too. OK now I want her to succeed but ......... Oh well I guess what I am saying is that if I don't blog for a few days you will know that my fingers are healing. Why oh why did she pick medical occupations ?
