Thanks Everyone, for being so patient. Medlife and I are doing the best we can to get more scarves. But everyone in our chapter is selling them just a fast as I am. I only managed to get my hands on 4 more scarves today, before they were all gone. But I have been assured that a huge order will be arriving within the next few weeks. I understand that many of you plan to give these scarves as gifts so I am doing my very best to get them to you in time.

However, if for some reason, I cannot get the scarves to everyone in time, I will send a card and letter for you to give your friends and family, detailing the origins of the scarves, Medlife as an organization and finally that their scarf will arrive soon. I apologize for any inconvenience!

Thanks!

Scarves are on the way!

I wanted to again thank everyone for all of your support. It really means a lot to me that you were so willing to help me help an organization that I feel does very important work. For those of you who don't know... I am on the PreMed track, at NYU, and participating in Medical Brigades is something I plan on continuing even after I receive a medical license.

As for the scarves...
More are being ordered now! Our NYU Medlife chapter has been so successful in selling scarves, that our president had to place an order for more! I told her about every persons specific request and she assured me that she would do her best to get me what you have all asked for. Today she emailed me, telling me the newest shipment should be in in 1-2 weeks. I'll keep you posted and put pictures of the new scarves on my blog as soon as I get them.

Thanks everyone!

1st EMT Training Course

Well I had my first EMT Training course today. It was along and grueling 5.5 hour long session, where I had to listen to a lecture and participate in a lab portion, where we put our new knowledge to the test. And little did I know, when I walked through the door that we would have a final at the end of the session. After hours of new material, the instructor announced that in order to receive our certification for the lesson we would have to pass the final! I was nervous and they only gave us a few minutes to review the material.

Unfortunately I don't think I did very well. The information that stuck in my brain were the procedures, when to what and how to respond to patients needs...all things that were not the main focus of the exam. I'll be notified of my score this coming week, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
