My Adventures in Orthotics and Prosthetics.
The end of high school.
I was 17 years old at the end of high school. Like all the other students, I have a decisive and thoughtful choice to make. Indeed, I felt overwhelmed because I had to choose a career field that has to be worthwhile. Two interesting choices were available to me.
Choice 1 : Apply in Orthotics and Prosthetics at Montmorency College.
Choice 2 : Apply in Pre-hospital Emergency Care at Ahuntsic College.
Apply in Orthotics and Prosthetics at Montmorency College.
I chose to go study Orthotics and Prosthetics at Montmorency College. At the end of my first year, I can participate in an on-the-job-training as an intern. This OJT is not required to get my diploma. So, I can choose to do it or not.
Choice 1 : Do not do an internship.
Choice 2 : Do an internship.
Do an internship.
I decided to do an internship in a private clinic, 45 minutes away from my home. By chance, I passed my test drive a week before. I don't feel comfortable driving alone, because too much stress would make me feel maddening.
Choice 1 : Take the car alone.
Choice 2 : Take the bus.
Do not do an internship.
I decided to not do an internship. So, I have to plan my summer differently.
Choice 1 : Apply in a water slide park.
Choice 2 : Take a vacation in Cuba.
Apply in a water slide park.
I have to make money during the summer. So, I find a job in a water slide park. Before getting hired as a trainee, they did a background check. I have almost a foot in the door when the boss met me in the office with some people from HR. They said to me that I can't work there because of my lack of experience. The supervisor added, "If I were you, I would not wear foot orthotics with sandals".
Choice 1 : Start over
Take a vacation in Cuba.
My parents took a leave of absence to go to Cuba with me. During the flight, there was strong turbulence. Almost after 1 hour of flight the plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean. We all die.
Choice 1 : Start over
Take the bus.
The bus was late for my second day at my internship. I was working on an orthotic to correct genus recurvatum at I measured with a goniometer. My boss put aside my project to talk to me in his office. He said that I must have difficulty with time management if I was late to my OJT. So, I don't respect the office politics even if more often than not I'm on time to work. He fired me.
Choice 1 : Start over
Take the car alone.
My internship was going well. As an intern, I learn the ropes of Orthotics and Prosthetics thoroughly. Indeed, I learn to do a check socket of a transfemoral leg amputation, with the intention of doing a prosthesis. Of course, as an intern, I do not have a premium wage. But, because I have straight A's in all do, my boss proposed me a promotion.
Choice 1 : Accept the promotion.
Choice 2 : Refuse the promotion.
Accept the promotion.
I was so happy to accept the promotion. Indeed, I take the vacant position of a prosthetist on maternity leave. I met patients who have been suffering from diabetes which led to gangrene. Necrosis automatically to amputation like a transfemoral or transtibial. So, I quickly become part of the rehabilitation treatment. At this new job, I do often casting on patients in order to do exoskeletal or endoskeletal prostheses. Moreover, prostheses help to decrease phantom limb syndrome. I would like to continue this work for several years for all the help I provide to patients. This is the job that I have always dreamed of!
Choice 1 : The End
Refuse the promotion.
Though I would like a stable job and a good compensation package, I refused the promotion. Because of that, my boss is frustrated with me. He makes me do overtime each week. I did the leg work with a little wage. I could not continue my OJT in such a condition. So, I set aside my work and came to my boss's office. I yelled: "Any way you offer a really bad retirement plan!". Then, I leave this job.
Choice 1 : Start over
Apply in Pre-hospital Emergency Care at Ahuntsic College.
I decided to go study Pre-hospital Emergency Care at Ahuntsic College. The first months were very difficult because I had to learn anatomy and drugs names. Above all that, a boy in my class won't stop staring that me and saying inappropriate things.
Choice 1 : Denounce him.
Choice 2 : Don't denounce him.
Denounce him.
I decided to denounce him to one of my teachers. They punished him for sexual harassment by forbidding him to do his final internship. I don't know if talking to my friend about this situation would be a good idea.
Choice 1 : Talk about it.
Choice 2 : Keep it secret.
Talk about it.
I decided to talk to my friend about his misconduct. A few days later, everybody was trying to undermine me because I denounce him. He biased their opinion. I can't believe that the recipient of a sexual harassment perpetrator was the one at fault. I felt an invaluable pain. People who bully others should be abolished from school. So, I decided to leave the program.
Choice 1 : Start over
Keep it secret.
I decided to keep this a secret. I felt dread in this situation. He can easily restart his misconduct. It was better for my health to stay at home, far away from him. I had an alienation. I sank so many classes that I got kicked out of the program.
Choice 1 : Start over
Don't denounce him.
I decided to not denounce him. I preferred considering it just as flirtation. Quickly, the school year has ended and the internship started. During the first weeks, I felt really come in handy because I could help my co-worker in the ambulance. One day my supervisor said that we have a difficult call, and I should not come.
Choice 1 : Come with them.
Choice 2 : Don't come with them.
Come with them.
I have decided to come with them. That was a huge car accident. My co-worker has to pull off the car a woman. They put a cervical corset on her. She was doing convulsions. I immediately felt the adrenaline and drive of work, I have to help them, even if normally I only do cursory injury. I give a blanket and bandage to them. I didn't even have time to look when my supervisor yelled at me not to look.
Choice 1 : Watch the woman.
Choice 2 : Don't watch the woman
Watch the woman.
My purpose wasn't to watch the woman, but it was stronger than me. I could not withhold myself. The woman had lost her arm during the accident.
Choice 1 : Pass out.
Choice 2 : Stay focused
Don't watch the woman.
I do not watch the scene as he told me. But I feel like I did not do any fulfillment. After, when we all return to the hospital. I did the drudgery in the ambulance. Then, my supervisor said that I was still learning in-depth about the profession and its drawback. I started to feel deterred from my chosen career. I convinced myself that it might be a dead-end job. So, I leave the program after my internship. However, my mother wore ankle orthotic for a few weeks. It gives me the idea to apply to the program Orthotics and Prosthetics.
Choice 1 : Apply in Orthotics and Prosthetics at Montmorency College.
Pass out.
After, seeing her, I automatically fainted. I woke up I was at the hospital. I had a catheter in my left arm. I learned that I hit my head hard on the ground. After some evaluation, doctors determined that I have paraplegia. My legs will slowly atrophy. Because I could not feel my legs anymore, the risk of ulcers is very high. Obviously, I can practice Pre-hospital Emergency Care anymore.
Choice 1 : Start over
Stay focus.
I stayed focused during the intervention. But after I feel like before getting sucked up in this career I should reconsider this career because of the ins-and-outs. In fact, even if this career allowed me this has a good income, a good pension, and pay a mortgage, it will hinder me from having a healthy mind. So, I decided to leave the program.
Choice 1 : Start over
Don't come with them.
I decide to not come with them. So, I returned to my home. On my way, I found a winning Lotto Max ticket of 69 million. Obviously, I leave the program to travel all around the world.
Choice 1 : Start over
