5 New Things I Learned Today

1. Why, while I was skating, I didn't get dizzy from spinning. My brain learned how to suppress the automatic reflex that causes us to get dizzy. This is why I could skate forward after spining dozens of times around in one spot.

2. I learned that physiotherapists and occupational therapists often have to go and do a screen of an elderly person's home after they have had a debilitating injury or illness in order to ensure safety in the home.

3. Learned the steps involved in a well-womens physical exam.

4. I learned how to check to see if somebody has a hernia. I can't wait to do one of those in real-life :S

And finally...

5. The only time a rectal exam should not be done when there is a complaint in the area is:
a) if the physician doesn't have fingers
b) the patient doesn't have an anus
