to Jean the Frenchie;

I kind of brushed off my exams after the sixth grade, but what really changed happened my sophomore (10th grade) year. The student nurses who mostly watched, was replaced by student nurses who were studying to be nurse practitioners. Not all the students were involved, I think the ones who were playing school sports. I know that the girls who played sports were involved in this change also.

I may be wrong about the nurse practitioner info, but that was the word that went around among us who played sports.

The difference from the student nurses and these N.P. was the fact that the N.P. did the hands on part of the physical and the dr. watched and commented and gave advice.

My Mom received some sort of consent form and I guess it had to do with my exam.

M last name begins with the letter "A" and I was one of the first ones to be examined by these future N.P.s. I might add that the student nurses were mostly 18-20 year olds, the future N.P.s were only slightly older. It seemed as if they were to young to be having the freedom to touch, handle and make personal comments as well as ask really personal questions about our bodies. The questions were the most embarrassing part of the exam. Well, except for the pubic area exam.

My back is hurting and I will write sooner than last time. I just need time for my pain pills to help . Soon.

I would like to make this observation; N.P.s give the most complete physical exams. The younger they are, the more they try to cover everything they must have learned in school. I think maybe I should say they are only slightly more complete than female doctors who have just started practice. However, new doctors could just have more time on their hands, perhaps without a heavy load of patients. I am told, the older you get, the less complete your physical will be.
