Fun With Typos
I'm doing my module work and as you might imagine have come across a few typos. Most of them don't make any sense at all, some are harmless but a couple have made me laugh out loud.
My oncological emergencies module last month got all Shakespearian on me when it said “...goal is to shrink thee tumour”. I started having visions of Hamlet in the personal protective equipment I've got to wear when giving chemotherapy.
I'm now doing my chemotherapy module. Learning the trillion types of chemotherapy is hard enough with having conspiracy theories like this thrown in - “... they can be used to debunk tumours...” I knew it! Cancer is just a giant con by Big Pharma to rob you blind (heh... I originally typed “rib you blind”)!
So work is going well. I've been doing some interesting stuff and learning so much. The nurses have all been good to me and I seem to be coping pretty well at this point. It's nice to know all the nursing skills I've acquired in the past are still there, just sleeping (so to speak) and allowing me to build on them.
But these moments of unintentional levity make it a lot more fun.
