Extra Blog 3: Training

Just thought this would be a good time to talk about the things ive been practicing for the medical mission in a few months. I started working in the ER again, so ive been in more contact with patients, taking their vital signs, as well as performing some basic cleaning work and helping wherever needed. Another thing that i practiced was how to properly scrub up again, as i will be taking part in surgeries while in the Philippines. one thing my grandpa wants me to learn before we go is how to properly suture a wound, as he will want me to close up after a procedure, his idea of this practice will be to using dead pigs as patients....lol... thats about it for now

EQ

Content

1.   Review this.  Confirm by stating "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
Essential Question 
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question.  The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic.  An essential question must:

• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
•  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)          

A. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria.
• Tell why it does or why it doesn't

 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
I feel that this is to broad and is not specific in Format.
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
Specific, Takes a stance, and provides a framework for studies 
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
While I know some people have EQ's like this, I feel it is hard to provide a framework or even take a stance to argue some point.
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
Feel like it can be more specific about who's chronic pain they are treating.

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.
A. I think my current EQ already meets all three of the rules, but I think i could change "way" to "most important factor", so "What is the most important factor for providing medical care to third world countries?"
