Health Science

What in fucks name is the point of Health Science except keeping people off the dole that are too thick to do Medicine?

I recently saw a post from a St John member about methods of looking after patients and I was drawn to a comment by a member.

"part of being a good practitioner (at whatever level) is moving from being unconsciously incompetent to consciously competent to unconsciously competent at whatever skill so that you don't have to concentrate on it and you can maintain a detachment which allows you to assimilate data as you do your job"

This raised my hackles slightly and I decided to google for this waste of bandwidth and I discovered he appears to be a member of St John Ambulance in Kent studying Health Science.

It hit me, he is a wannabe doctor. That and apparently a dangerous moron.

The sheer concept of anyone being ARROGANT enough to think they can work with real patients in the real world and not FUCKING CONCENTRATE is infuriating. Harold Shipman was pretty damn good at killing patients and even he concentrated on it so how do you think you can save patients without concentrating?!

He is exactly the sort of barrel scraping scum that DESERVES to be on a Health Science (aka waste of time) degree and unfortunately the image a lot of the NHS have of St John Ambulance as an organisation.

Being a good practitioner is not about being detached or doing things without concentrating. It's about caring, its about the fear and adrenaline every time your with a patient and the drive to make sure you are constantly improving because you are never perfect.

This diploma carrying, waste of a student loan smacktard is nothing more than a poor first aider. The sheer idea of him being allocated a place on a medical degree makes my blood boil. At least the health science degree should keep him from attending too many duties and further tarnishing his organisations reputation.
