I almost killed my patient today!

Thankfully, it wasn’t my fault. Thankfully he wasn’t real but rather a robot. And thankfully, it was just because my professor pushed a wrong button.

Still, it was terrifying when he stopped breathing. “Are you still there Mr. Jones? Can you keep breathing for me? On no! Please, please just start breathing again!” Once he did start breathing he said something like, “I feel I could die.”

“Me too,” I responded. My Prof. started laughing at me… I think she has forgotten how scary it is when you kill your patient in front of your professor.

Once he started breathing, my professor came in the room playing an angry wife. We both lost it when she stuck her lip out at me. Apparently playing the angry, upset, exhausted, hungry wife of a dying patient is pretty fun, and funny when your poor student looks at you in horror when you start yelling at her.

I don’t think I failed the simulation, though. Which is really good. ;)
