I can’t believe that we are on Expert Lecture number nine! We had Jasper’s Mom come in and she was explaining what she does. She is an orthopedist. What orthopedist do is they work with bones and help people when they have broken bones. Speaking of bones, we all got some cool bone shaped pens. When she was talking to us, we got these cool cards, one was boney Ben and the other was muscle Molly. The cards helped us with the questions she asked us, such as, which bone/muscle is this?
Later after we learned some of this we had to get into groups of three. I got into a group of four but it worked the same. One person in each group was the patient and the others were the doctors. I was the patient and three of my other friends were doctors. The three doctors got to put me in a splint! A splint is pretty much a cast but it doesn’t go all the way around your arm. The hard part of a splint goes on one side of your arm and the wrap just wraps around your arm. We let them harden a little and it felt so cool. I didn’t do this but some other people got their splints signed.
Overall, this whole Expert Lecture was amazing and I hope we have another soon.
