#AND medical instructor

[teecupangel]

Desmond as the plague doctor in AC? Like, he time traveled, and really was just done with everyone's shit. Also, he's burnt to a crisp, like he fell into a fire and shriveled up like a prune. So he kinda needs a good disguise to hide... everything. So he steals a plague doctors mask and robes to hide in plain sight.

Then people start coming to him with money and wounds. They tell him that they've been told to do 'blood letting' and they need him to do it, which makes Desmond fly into an explanation that "no that's really dumb, what he needs is water and clean bandages. The fuck makes you think losing more blood would make it better?' and eventually, when his 'crazy' ideas actually begin to work, people start to come to him for more life threatening things. And eventually he becomes known as a miracle worker.

Then Ezio stumbles across him...

Let's just say, shenanigans ensue

This ask reminded me of @wolfofartblock’s idea of a plague doctor!Desmond AU and I think they would work well together?

Like, it would definitely be shenanigans to the highest degree if Ezio stumbled across him wounded and in need of dire medical attention and it’s not like Desmond could freaking not do anything.

After that, Ezio starts becoming a regular, less because he was interested in these so-called ‘revolutionary’ medical practices that ‘has gotten a lot of doctors’ metaphorical feathers ruffled’ which was interesting, yes, but what was more interesting was that he saw what was hidden behind the mask and that’s why he keeps coming back.

To catch another glimpse.

All the while, Desmond just wants to stay under the radar but, goddamn it, it was becoming harder and harder to do because he cannot, in his good conscience, let all these ‘bad takes’ continue as it meant people would not be getting the proper care they needed to heal and not die.

At some point, Desmond would have to start writing about his methods in hopes that it would be enough to finally get all these hoity-toitis to finally be better in giving medical care.

Then, then… because of a series of events that includes a lot of people wanting to learn from him, Desmond accidentally becomes a teacher and he can’t really teach in random places so he opens up a small clinic that turns into an unofficial medical school and, at this point, Desmond is also trying to learn actual medical shit because he’s skating by using what he remembers and common sense available to a 21st-century dude like him with the added benefit of remembering some of Shaun’s rants of the many, many ways Ezio could have died by going to the doctor but that’s no longer applicable as his ‘students’ are asking questions and… and…

And…

Holy shit.

Was he an actual doctor now?

Was he an actual instructor???

What. The. Fuck.

I want to share some interesting discussion about Arturia (and Executor by extension), including some discussion about neurodivergency--a lot of this informs their characters and actions and shines better light on how it can reflect real life.

Also, here's her prequel comic which gives more context

The outcomes of her actions are not often good, but she's definitely not supposed to be evil/malicious/sadistic. She is ideologically driven and, because of her morality axis being different from most, genuinely believes what she's doing is good/correct. She has reason for what she does, such as being opposed to Laterano's limited empathy and discrimination, and what happened in her childhood.

It can be read as a commentary on how the vast majority would rather remain sheep to survive, then be true and (possibly) die.

Her motivation can be summed up as: she wants people to stop repressing themselves. Which theoretically sounds good on paper, but obviously impractical in practice. Sometimes honesty isn't the best policy.

Kriede's fate, his death, was out of his own real volition. What resulted in him wanting to save Ebenholz.

It's unconfirmed, but she may be a victim to her own Arts. She has no inhibitions about removing other people's inhibitions. Or she gaslights herself/disassociates when it comes to her mother's death. She was probably traumatized, but underreacted. To her, Mom dying and using her Arts on her mom are two separate things that have no causation.

She does not regret using her Arts on her mother. She does regret being unable to have helped her mother go further to achieve her dream before she died. Arturia considers it her own failure that Mom died before she reached self-actualization. At the core of it all, Arturia wants to see more people be like her mother, willing to act on what they truly want.

People's despair are all worthy of being addressed and felt and released. That's extremely relevant to her worldview. It's what separates humans from animals acting on instinct. Arturia doesn't care for the Seaborn and thinks they are beneath notice. They are Nothing to her. You can be Good or Evil, but you must be human. Have human desires, because animalistic desire is boring. Human irrationality is what makes them beautiful to her.

People who say that Arturia caused everything to happen in Hortus de Escapismo ignore the fact that the overall situation had been deteriorating long before she set foot there. If anything, she may have just sped up the process of things that were going to happen anyway. Which is not the same as causing it. Looking at it from the perspective of the people living at the monastery, it's reasonable that there would be depressing thoughts floating around everywhere. But the Abbot tells Arturia that her music soothes the pain.

Laterano's response to the situation did nothing to alleviate the actual problem, the material conditions (ie no food). If Arturia's abilities worked the way some people think they do, everyone at the monastery would've been dead in a week or less.

If you're debating jumping off a cliff, then she isn't going to make you jump, nor will she influence you to jump. If someone is worried about Arturia's Arts affecting them, causing them to do bad things they otherwise wouldn't have, because of intrusive thoughts, then they shouldn't even be concerned. Because Arturia is not interested in that. Acting on intrusive thoughts is not what she looks for. It's more akin to helping someone dive deep into their subconscious to face the thing(s) they refuse to face. Some people choose to take this back up with them to the surface. People who contemplate doing bad things for brief moments normally don't have those kinds of thoughts sitting deep within their psyche to drag up.

Arturia obviously needs therapy, but the most important thing to her is whether you have the conviction to act on your desires. Let go and embrace how you truly feel. The extremities of pain and despair (and perhaps even happiness) are among what she values. A very complicated individual.

extremely unimpressed and frankly angry as all hell that my hysterectomy referral was apparently rescheduled to next month without anyone telling me. like it was changed a week ago and the only reason I know is because I called to confirm my appointment last night, and just got a confused call back from a receptionist. its taking a lot of self control to not do something rash and petty and self destructive

[dykeyuu]

i know that half of what i post is about adderall fixing my life but fr it’s fixing me i sat down and spent several enjoyable hours working on an assignment that would typically be so overwhelming that i’d give up before starting

[intraosseous]

Unless you really love sleeping.]

[touchatism]

so I’m in my first year of medical school and we do these simulations with actors pretending to be patients. They’re recorded and people are watching you and giving you criticism and then you have to watch yourself on camera— overall horrific experience but it’s part of the training.

So today, my instructor’s feedback for me was that I needed to “relax and let my personality out” and that I “don’t need to put on a mask for patients”

….I appreciate the sentiment, sir, but I’m afraid the “personality” you’re referring to is also a mask

[rhetoricalrogue]

Help, I can’t stop creating characters that I will more than likely never use.

[sadclowncentral]

when i got my medical certificate i very confidently answered the question "what do you do if a person becomes unconscious?" with "remove from the room immediately" only to be met with puzzled silence by the instructor and that's when i learned that the deeply ingrained nautical fear and grim reality of seamen and their rescuers asphyxiating in enclosed spaces due to build up of toxic gas or especially lack of oxygen does not translate to land.

HLR instruktörens utmaningar och framgångar: Personliga erfarenheter

Välkommen till en värld av hjältar utan mantlar. Som en "HLR instruktör" står man inför många utmaningar, men också många framgångar. Att undervisa andra i hjärt-lungräddning (HLR) är inte bara ett yrke, det är ett kall. I detta inlägg delar jag med mig av mina personliga erfarenheter, både utmaningarna jag stött på och de framgångar som följt med att vara en HLR instruktör. Låt oss dyka in i denna hjärtevärmande resa.

Utmaningar som HLR Instruktör

1. Att bemästra konsten att undervisa

Som HLR instruktör är det första steget att bemästra konsten att undervisa. Att överföra kunskap på ett effektivt och engagerande sätt till människor från alla samhällsskikt är en stor utmaning. Det kräver inte bara djup förståelse för HLR-tekniker, utan också förmågan att anpassa undervisningsmetoderna efter varje individs behov och förståelse.

2. Att hålla sig uppdaterad

En annan utmaning är att konstant hålla sig uppdaterad med de senaste riktlinjerna och teknikerna inom HLR. Medicinska riktlinjer och bästa praxis utvecklas ständigt, vilket kräver att jag som instruktör är på tårna och kontinuerligt uppdaterar min kunskap och mina färdigheter. Detta kräver en betydande investering av tid och energi.

3. Hantera emotionella situationer

HLR-utbildning kan ofta väcka starka känslor, särskilt bland de som har upplevt en nära och kärs hjärtstopp. Som instruktör har jag stött på många emotionellt laddade situationer där jag behövt visa empati och förståelse samtidigt som jag bibehåller en professionell standard. Att balansera denna emotionella aspekt med att lära ut tekniska färdigheter är en av de största utmaningarna.

Framgångar som HLR Instruktör

1. Att se elever växa

En av de mest givande aspekterna av mitt arbete är att se eleverna växa och utveckla sina HLR-färdigheter. När en elev går från att vara osäker och tveksam till att bli självsäker och kompetent i HLR, känner jag en enorm tillfredsställelse. Att veta att varje person jag utbildar har potential att rädda liv är otroligt belönande.

2. Att bidra till samhället

Som HLR instruktör har jag också möjlighet att göra en positiv inverkan på samhället. Genom att öka antalet personer som kan utföra HLR, bidrar jag till en mer hälsomedveten och beredd befolkning. Det är en stolthet att veta att mitt arbete hjälper till att skapa en säkrare miljö för alla.

3. Personlig och professionell utveckling

Yrket har också erbjudit mig en betydande personlig och professionell utveckling. Varje utbildningssession är en möjlighet att förbättra mina pedagogiska färdigheter, öka mitt tålamod och förståelse, och utveckla min förmåga att hantera olika situationer. Denna ständiga utveckling är inte bara tillfredsställande, den har också förstärkt min karriär som HLR instruktör.

Slutsats

Att vara en HLR instruktör är en resa fylld med både utmaningar och framg ångar. Varje dag innebär nya möjligheter att lära ut, inspirera och göra en skillnad. Att möta de utmaningar som kommer med yrket – att ständigt uppdatera kunskap, hantera emotionella situationer och effektivt överföra kritiska färdigheter – kräver tålamod, dedikation och passion. Å andra sidan är framgångarna – att se elevers framsteg, bidra till samhället och uppleva personlig tillväxt – oerhört givande.

Varje person jag undervisar tar med sig kunskapen om att kunna rädda liv, vilket ger en känsla av kollektivt ansvar och samhörighet. Som HLR instruktör har jag haft privilegiet att vara en del av denna viktiga process. Det är inte bara en yrkesroll; det är en möjlighet att påverka människors liv på det mest fundamentala sättet.

Att arbeta som HLR instruktör är verkligen en unik och berikande erfarenhet. Det är en resa som kräver mycket, men ger ännu mer tillbaka. För alla som överväger detta kall, kan jag helhjärtat säga att det är en av de mest meningsfulla vägarna man kan välja. Att vara en del av en rörelse som arbetar för att göra världen till en säkrare plats är inte bara ett jobb – det är en livslång resa av lärande, delande och räddande av liv.För alla frågor, kontakta oss för att få bättre insikter.
