Daytonite,
I'm sorry I suddenly disappeared from the scene. I apologise for not acknowledging your last mail regarding my case presentation. Unfortunately, my kids were sick, I had to prepare for 2 tests and prepare for the presentation.
But for your persistent guidance, I would have made a whole mess of the assessment. Now, I know what you were driving at. I wrote everything right from checking for allergies, to GI, CV, resp etc, symptoms to lab reports. Then, after class I showed it to our instructor and she said I covered everything.
Thank you very much for all your help. I know I learned a lot and hope to be a little more prepared for the next time. Sadly, for the first time I am seeing students in the class who are not willing to have an open discussion and are extremely competitive. Well, I guess the world is made of many different people and we have to learn to live with them all.

oh, yes, i remember. the case study ended up being a group presentation. i got kind of swamped myself toward the end of the posts. i'm glad things turned out ok. the first ones are always the most challenging. the effort pays off down the road. worry about yourself first and let the other students take care of themselves. try to help them if you can spare the time because it will help you understand the process better, but don't do it at the expense of your own grade. sadly, you are also going to see the same kind of "closed" people and mediocre performers when you get into the work place.

Daytonite is Yoda.
And I'd like to be a little taller. I'm tired a being a pipsqueek that has to look up at giants all the time.
