Lots of stuff to cover, better get this shit rolling.

I'm under a lot of pressure to go to school to be an RN or a PA. The docs at work really hound me about it, which would be nice except that I have some major, major reading and writing issues that make life hell. I had to go to school for 6 months to get my EMT license, and that was pure hell. You feel like such a child, you get upset easy, and just can't finish your work. I told my docs that I would NEVER be an RN or a PA until I got these problems fixed. The last thing in the world that co-workers want is someone asking them how to spell things basic words.

One of the most frustrating things about this problem is the huge knowledge I have, yet its seems like its impossible for me to write/read about it or convey it. Working in the ER is awesome on the learning end. No books. Just a doctor telling you what this is and what that is, I think it by far is the easiest way to learn. No spelling, which rocks. Years ago, had someone asked me about the human body, my knowledge of its workings would have been that of a chipmunk with a nut, I would have been like, be quite, I want to eat this nut. Uhmm, well it would have been very limited.

Doctors talk to me about the inner workings of the human mind compared to thought and reactions, the functions of the organs what makes them excel and what makes them die, and medicines used to treat liver enzymes.

Yet if they give me a medical journal to read, I break down because I can't finish it. I can hold a conversation with heart doctors, neuro surgeons......yet when I comes to the basic things of reading and writing the material, I fail. The writing is what kills me. If you guys knew how long it took me to type this, and the fact that I had to write this in works so I could spell check it....well, its disappointing.

It feels like my mind is sinking yet floating at the same time. It a weird ass feeling. This is taking freaking forever to write.....oh well.

As the days the go by, I realize that my days in the medical field are coming to an end. This half and half bullshit needs to go. I'm gonna be working my ass off at work for the next few months. Gonna try and save up some money and see if still want to go to China for a while. It would be a nice change of pace, I much needed break from reality.

On a happier note, I'm off for 4 days. Not really sure what I'll do with my time, but I know fun and good times will hopefully follow. Gonna spend a few days figuring out my plans. God I love spell check. smile

Speaking as a university professor for just a moment, the best advice I can give to you is to head on over to "Disabled student services" (or whatever your school happens to call it) and see what sort of resources are available for you. My own students have had my lectures video taped, audio taped, had notes taken by another student (who got paid for their effort, BTW) and I've even had a real time captioner in my classroom who does something like live subtitles on a screen as I'm speaking. All this for students who have difficulties with either reading, writing or general processing of the academic information. All universities are obligated to provide reasonable accomodations for people just like you so FEAR NOT, my love! The hardest part for some people is swallowing their pride and making that first call to disabled student services for their intake appointment. Lots of my students have ADD/ADHD, auditory processing problems, visual issues, you name it. They're all able to take advantage of a whole menu of services to help them along. You'll still have to do the work, mind you, but there are tools to make it easier for someone like you.

Seriously, Josh, don't let something like this hold you back. Drop me a PM if you have any other questions cuz you know I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction. smile
