My Date With Patsy

Remember that Experimental Psychology practical I told you about in my last post? Well today we turned up at class, and lying on the table in front of me was this handout:


This, of course, refers to PATSy, the patient simulator website that UK medical students are no doubt familiar with. We at Cambridge, however, are a bit slow in our training (and by slow I mean THREE FRIGGIN' YEARS without learning what to do when someone faints cold in the middle of a roomful of medics with about fifty first-aid kits lying around rusting happily --Editor) and so this was my first exposure to this wonderfully-named resource.

And so by the time the professor interrupted his opening lecture to scream at me "What the hell is so funny, wisearse?!" I had already been sniggering insanely in the front row for about ten minutes.

What's the first thing YOU would've thought of upon reading something like that?
