Our Medical Journey

Hello, students of the seniors' class!

We are working our way through a long journey that has seven steps:

1 - Make an appointment

2 - Talk to the receptionist on arrival; you may get a form to fill out.

3 - Talk to the nurse. You may have to answer health history questions.

4 - Describe your symptoms (page 24 of this booklet). You will receive a requisition for blood work.

5 - Go to the lab. Hand over your requisition. Interact with the lab technician.

6 - Go back for a follow-up appointment. You will get some advice regarding lifestyle changes.

7 - Go to the pharmacy. Get your new prescription filled. Be able to read the label (page 18). Listen and read.

The Systems of the Body - Overview

Can you believe it's been two years since we last studied the systems of the body?

Here are your links again.

This is a great interactive website for learning the various systems. Move your mouse over the labels to see the system.

This is a silly little game for learning a few main parts of each system.

Take a quiz about the circulatory system.

Enjoy!

The Urinary System

Hello, students of the seniors' class!

Here is a good video (in fact it is a series of four videos) in which a doctor explains the urinary system.

Renal System, part 1/4

Explore science games on urinary system for kids at NeoK12  

Getting a BMD Scan

Hello, students.

Watch this short video about a BMD scan.

Lab Tests

Hello, seniors!

This week we learned about requisitions for blood work. I enjoyed watching your role plays with real cotton balls, gloves, and band-aids. Weimiao made a syringe from a pen.

Listen to these conversations between a patient and the laboratory staff.

If you enjoyed that one, take a look at the whole list. There is one about giving a urine sample, as well.

Happy learning!

Hello, Seniors!

During our unit on health, medicine and talking to our doctors, the videos on this web log should help us a lot.
