About This Event
Have you ever found it exciting, that thought of examining someone or being examined, immersing into Medical Play? This 2 part class encompasses a vast range of possibilities, from “real” looking role play to actual methods used by health care professionals. This class is taught by a health care professional and includes real methods and tools.
Topics include:
- Safety stuff! Body fluids, barriers, preparation and cleaning of equipment, where to get supplies and what you can DIY at home
- How to look like you know what you’re doing: putting on gloves, asking basic history questions, using a stethoscope, etc
- Basic physical examination patterns: inspect, touch, listen, movement, reflexes
- Body handling: cutting off clothing, immobilizing neck, immobilizing limbs, turning/rolling, cleaning/washing
- Genital examinations and interventions: enemas, prostates, catheterization (vs sounding), pelvic/speculum examination, breast examination (I know, I know, technically not genitals, sue me)
- Some suggestions for how these can be turned into scenes, whether realistic or ridiculous
