Problem Based Learning
aka a mountain of faeces that poor UK med students are subjected to. The aim of the task is to pretend to
understand (
supposedly for the sake of their future career under the NHS... ahem) each medical scenario using "oh-so-clever" patient names to give "ever-so-subtle" hints to the true diagnosis, e.g. Mr. Art Attak...
...Oh
for fucks sake.
student A: I never
understand what we're meant to get from this. Fuck it, I'll just sit here quietly and nod.
student B: so read
the fucking 6 lines of pbl scenario and lets sit here for 2 hours
BRAINSTORMING and going through the SEVEN STAGES of a PERFECT fucking pbl. And we do this every topic, every term for how many years of medskool?
student C: I'm off peeps I've got the tutor's notes
10 years later in the hospital..
Patient rushed into A&E with a knife stabbed into his skull, bleeding and unconscious.
A: I'm still confused, what's wrong with him? Is that blood? I'll just sit here quietly and nod.
B: I need to brainstorm quick someone I need a whiteboard!
C: Shit, I didn't photocopy the notes for this!
