Stardate 08.11.15      The Doctor is IN            

Today I continued my SFA studies, determined to get as far as I could on COM101 Basic Doctorate. With some dance music mix running for 2 hours on my headphones, I was rocking and researching. Many of these medical terms and definitions I had not seen since 4 years ago, when I first began my education in the field of medical administration, so at least they were familiar to me. Of course, that medical school was subpar to Starfleet Academy, so I’m more excited about continuing higher education here. However, while attempting to answer questions on CPR and mouth-to-mouth breathing, I noticed that there were varying “opinions” on the optimal ways and times and locations for compressions. So, I noted this on the answer sheet, providing at least 3 links on CPR and “rescue breathing”, which is the proper term to indicate there are no compressions needed (because the person has a pulse). I sent it in to the instructor with a note to notice my notations. (Haha. I love alliteration.) He did not reply to it, but then I received my grade- Distinction. YEAH BABY!  

I wanted to brag right away, naturally, and my SF Pen Pal was online, so told her about my corrections, but I remembered that she warned me that some instructors don’t take kindly to that. So I worried, and I was like…

Me: Who is this Killough instructor person? … Let me see his mail profile … Damnnn. He is good loooking, in his small pic.

TardisGirl: lol

Me: Looks strong, like he could crush me if he’s upset about the suggestions. What’s his position? What Region is he in?

I went to check his ID line at the bottom of the message.

Commanding Officer, Retribution Station, SFR-1202

Director, College of Medicine, STARFLEET Academy

That didn’t say what region. What’s SFMD? What’s his rank? VAdm?

So I went to check again….

Fleet Admiral.

I remembered that term from my OTS course…. that’s the O-12… that’s the… I went to check his ID line yet again. Seems I missed the second line in my haste and confusion…

Commander, STARFLEET

So I go back to my friend…

Me: Wait. Is this the CS? Shiiiiiiit

TardisGirl: ?

Me: You know, … our leader. our Commander… of the whole friggin thing???

TardisGirl: LOL

Me: I just corrected his course. And called him hot.

TardisGirl: Nice

Me: Well, he doesn’t know about the second part, at least.

Yay for Ensign Awkward, getting noticed by the CS within a week of joining. I hope in a good way, but it’s probably not, if we’re being realistic here. Anyways, WTF is the CS doing grading papers? He has better things to do, surely.

*sighs*

wait…I just got some certificate in my inbox …for this doctorate course.

Am I a doctor now? Holy Moley!

I’m a SFMD!

WTFBBQ???

“Dammit Jim, I’m a Doctor, not a Back-Hair-Waxer!” (True Story: some rotund, hairy man actually asked me to do that to him within the first 10 minutes of meeting me at our friend’s house. … Denied.)

Beware people… I have a medical tricorder and I’m not afraid to use it. Be very careful. 

How does this old thing work?
