Well, I was in the right place...
Well, I was in the right place...
I did two weeks of work experience. I did a week at a geriatric hospital, and a week at the place I work at weekends anyway.
The hospital was quite interesting. I did some office work (which is probably a standard requirement of work experience) and also "Observed" a lot, which is basically another name for standing around looking awkward and trying not to get in the way. One morning, I was observing the outpatients physiotherapy, which was quite interesting. I had been watching a back examination, and when I stepped out of the cubicle, I felt everything going black. I woke up to find myself on the floor, with people standing around me looking worried.
It wasn't the first time I'd fainted - I have a rather annoying habit of doing it every so often, and probably would have been fine in about ten minutes or so, but I was almost forced to go home, which meant that I missed seeing pins being stuck into somebody. I did get lots of sympathy hugs, which almost made up for it, but I think I am probably one of the few people who has been sent home from hospital for being ill.
The second week wasn't very interesting, mainly sitting around drinking coffee. I was visited by one of my teachers during the week, who just about put a stop to any work that was happening, as almost all the women present gathered around to gaze into his eyes. Never seen anything in him myself, but my boss was having palpitations for the rest of the day.

lah lah lah, length etc.
