Wonderful ending with you being able to be there to see your young techs take flight!!! I have a great deal more respect for all our medical techs thanks to your writing, Alie!
When I saw this title, I thought you surprised the students by appearing at their CPR training class. Did you teach them that, too?

    Thank you so very much Helene for reviewing and your great comments. Sadly I did not teach them CPR.

I think your writing is very proficient and I learned the proper word for vomit. You tell it like it is, and I'm afraid it made me realize that I'm glad I wasn't working in the field of medicine and the sick. I guess in some ways I do, but not with all those body fluids, I have a strong gagging reflex too, ahahahaha I noticed no errors, and thanks for sharing your writing, Ana.

Hi Alie. This has been an amazing journey with Mrs. Armstrong and her students. What the medical profession deals with on a daily basis is incredible and they all deserve gold stars. Through it all they keep their spirits up, especially in front of their patients which they really may not inwardly be able to do sometimes. Your writing is clear, explicit and interesting. Great job. Marilyn

This work has reached the exceptional level

This was a really good piece of writing I enjoyed it. I admire the class they have more stomach than I do haha. Some of the pictures this story created turned my stomach, but yet made me laugh. I loved the student's reactions and how they ultimately saw the lesson's through and exceeded.

The other two group can hover and watch. - group(s)

They now knew the difference and how to direct to patient to produce and provide them. - direct (the) patient

A great ending to the story! Sounds like a fun party, but it had to be sad to see them go. I'm sure you became attached to them all.

Well done with this series, this last episode was written in great commentary, and the descriptive text was "deliciously" absorbing. No wonder some of the students has gag reflexes.
Well written, Mrs. Armstrong was a great character who took her work seriously, but a good teacher character, and the students also descriptively good, sometimes they could have been described as "antagonists". Good job, blessings, Roy
Typo : There (were) super happy to learn.

You should be very proud. You and your students both did a wonderful job. I know I could never work with bodily fluids or blood. I'd never graduate from a nursing school. :)

This has been a great adventure and most enjoyable to read. What will you do with it now? It might serial in some kind of medical mag I suppose. I noticed a couple of things that need sorting.

"The other two group can hoover and watch." So that's how she gets the place vaccuumed. I think you mean "hover". Lol.

"...and in fact woke up about five months later." Did you really mean months? Were they comatose?

    Thanks Pantygnt for reading and reviewing. I am so glad that you enjoyed it and thank you so much for faithfully following. Your kind comments mean so much. Who knows what will come from it, but it was fun to do. I will make those changes shortly. I did mean hover lol, yes she was comatose for about five months after the maggot incident and had been for about a month before, she was brought in unconscious with breathing difficulties and placed on a ventilator.

What a gross read. I loved it. Mrs. Armstrong is always so enlightening and entertaining. My daughter is in medical school. Hope her instructors are half as good as Mrs. Armstrong. It was interesting to learn about the samples. My poor daughter. So they actually use real vomit in medical training. I never thought about that. And the part about the live maggots. Is that for real? Could that happen? I am growing with your students. Thanks for the training.

    Thanks for reading and then taking the time to review. A lot of things have changed since I was in school, eons ago lol. Now there is a preference to coddle the students and they don't get forewarning until they actually are exposed to it. The part about the maggots was real and will never be forgotten. From what I understand the patient was never told all of the details, thank goodness. Again thanks.
