    • What clues does Mom give that leads you to think this?
    • What are some differential diagnoses for this patient?
    • What is your primary concern for this patient?
    • Do we need to treat this patient’s seizures, or can we “wait it out”? What is your rationale for your choice?
    • Is there anything you would have done differently for this patient?

Seizure Lecture! FINALLY!

So,   teaching in person seems to be more my thing. I get in front of a class and talk to people! Recording blips to a slide, not so much. This took waaayyy longer than its should have had, probably because of my perfectionistic insecurities. Record... listen... hate it... repeat! UGH! Soo, here is my imperfect presentation on seizures- I hope you enjoy it far more than I enjoyed making it. (that said, I enjoyed putting it together, I REALLY, REALLY DID!- I just wish I had not belabored it as much).. ;-)  Seizures!

Wilson Community College

I decided to evaluate Wilson Community College since I graduated from there in 2009. When I was a student at WCC, students did not have their own email addresses, instructors used cassette tapes and VCRs, TVs and overhead projectors to deliver content. Internet service was available, but not WiFi, so you had to go to the library to "plug in". When I think of the fact that I left only 12 years ago is MIND BLOWING! Enjoy my summary!
