I know exactly how you feel. I am in Funeral Service school. Why do I have to learn the signs and symptoms of many diseases? I can understand know what is caused by which microorganism to protect yourself in case I see it in a death certificate, but come on...once the customers are on my table they have no more signs and symptoms. Leave alone all the pathology I have to learn...and anatomy. They could narrow it down to what matters, but trying to teach us how many bones on the ankle is a little unnecessary. Then when it comes to what really matters, they just touch it. We took 2 hours of class on caskets, when we should know all about them.
A year goes by quick. Good luck to you.
