XDDD

I love that they're having fun with it

You do sim enough times you start making jokes XD

Well, so far it's more polite than the actual patients they get.

That's why we like him so much XD

Reminds me of that CPR training scene from The Office.

So which one is going to grab the heart and wear it face?

Oh Jack would totally be the one to do that XD

Of course he will he had... A condition.

Pretty close XD

Yeah. You get used to things long enough, you try to have fun with it. It's no different in jobs than it is with grinding in Pokemon or Final Fantasy. Spice things up. I'd probably start acting like I'm in a Soap Opera.

We've done that too. I've named the training dummies enough times and given them very long back stories just to keep things interesting.

I love doing stuff like that while grinding in my games. It's so much fun! I even get myself to crack up every once in a while. X3

Awww Joyce looks very beautiful and cute she trying very hard to work the best she can ^^

I like that series very much 😊

Glad you're enjoying the series

Once again, you've created something that would brighten up the days of most people. And those that don't get their day brightened by this, have no soul.

Probably why Jolene isn't here
;D

Truly the real answer is that the dummy's heart stopped working properly

That poor lil torso is just having a really hard time T^T

Isn't checking for breathing one of the first things to confirm, for triage? I might be confusing civil medicine with battlefield medicine, but in an emergency, I think the first thing to look at is breathing or if there are obstructions that prevent breathing, then they check for bleeding, then they check responsiveness.

I want to know this, in case I have to provide first aid. Ideally, I never will have to. But just in case...

When they train us for BLS/ACLS, technically the first thing you are supposed to do is "assess the area for any immediate danger" (some trainers are sticklers for the rules).

The first step involving the injured/incapacitated person is to check for a pulse at the same time as breathing to determine if you give CPR, just rescue breaths, or check for other things

Yeah, of course; gotta check for danger. You won't be helping anyone if you manage to upstage the patient.

So it is checking pulse and breathing, simultaneously? I figure one has precedence over the other. Eh, both are very important to stay alive and both are pretty quick to check. And in a hospital setting, you have the advantage of an EKG showing you if the heart is beating.

Generally we follow the ABC's
Airway, Breathing, Circulation (and then a bunch of letters after that)
but you get the idea.

Oh no, even the substitute is crying in the last panel T^T

He's having a hard time! T^T

Love how the sim dummy is a Substitute x3

Kinda my go to filler for a random 'mon
XD

Plus it fits cause they're both dolls!

Ya got me with the last panel; I laughed out loud.

I was giggling pretty hard as I was drawing this

Man do i feel called out with that poor practice dummy xD

At least the dummy doesn't cuss us out and throw stuff at us, so that's a plus
XD

Fair point xD

I remember in high school health class (which I took instead of gym because I'm ridiculously clumsy), they had a few classes dedicated to first aid, which included CPR. They had an actual paramedic come in to teach us how to do the chest compressions and breath-of-life thing on the plastic bust dummies...but they way they described it really grossed me out. Saying things like "In any other scenario squeezing a stranger's breasts would be wrong but if they're non-responsive it's to save their life" and "don't worry of year hear a loud CRACK, that's good because breaking the rib cage allows the lungs to expand more." I get that they were trying to make a bunch of teenagers listen but for me...well I was turned off from ever even attempting to learn CPR after that.

Also why isn't Jeff attending this?

Yeah, I was always told that if you crack the ribs it means you're doing it right ^^;

Jeff is a nursing student not an actual nurse employee. This is employee training. Good question tho!

It just seems like, as a student, this is something he SHOULD be attending. But I'm the guy who failed first aid class so what do I know?

He is likely attending a class just like this one, but over at nursing school, not work mandated education days.
Those are just for employees.

Huh. I just assumed Joyce WAS his primary tutor.

Nah she just teaches him on the days he's in the hospital for clinicals. Most of his days are class room days where he learns about different diseases and treatments, etc. etc.

Ah.

I still remember the time I was working in the library, some kids got their hands on a CPR practice dummy and chucked it off the third floor into the basement from the stairway. It was finals week so we thought the worst.

To this day, I still wonder how the heck they got that thing IN there without being spotted...

What did the dummy ever do to them?!
T^T

Presumably they wanted to play some kind of sick and twisted prank.

This was at a university after all - which is one reason they do have CPR practice dummies.
