Day 2 of Orientation. The 1st day involved role-playing of an all-too-problematic home visit and regretting that I should have kept a tally on how many times "rapport" and "professionalism" were said from 8:30-2:00pm.
Besides unprofessionalism, bad French might as well be a crime at Sophie Davis ("cul-de-sac" turned into cult-de-sack, and so on). Capital punishment involves Edelsack's calling the cops, like he does with "plagiarism" from "Error! Bookmark not define!" warnings on MS Word. Ah, the memories from just a few weeks back...
This is Day 2.
Citizens Advice Bureau came and lectured us on entitlement benefits, which sounded all the same to me. I would be appalled if I had to memorize the 10+ acronyms she force fed me, but it's not comfortable either to suspect that most field workers/volunteers probably had no clue what they specifically are, either.
Small group sessions involved more worst-case-scenario studies.

I decided to publicize this for the sake of blogging for fun and to also share my experiences. Keep in mind that all patient names are disclosed by law and that individual survey answers & participants' names are kept confidential.
Also, don't try to pass this off as your own work (especially you guys, underclassmen). Steal it and you are in deep trouble. If I don't call the cops on you, Professor Edelsack might.
