    My doc put me on this when he put me on Lipitor too, it's supposed to help with heart tissue I guess.
     
  19. During a trauma activation, I threw my back out examining the patient for pelvic stability. I had to sit in the corner of the trauma bay to gather my composure before quietly excusing myself wondering who was in more pain... me or the patient that was just hit by a car.

    Cursive was probably the dumbest thing I ever learned and we devoted a ton of time to it too. A close second is square dancing.

    What practical application is there for square dancing? At least with cursive knowing how to sign your name is important.

    I switched schools between 2nd and 3rd grade and never learned cursive because of what grade level each taught it at. I learned to sign my name and that's it.

    No idea. We also learned to play a recorder in music class. I guess to stimulate interest in music and dance which I like but square dancing was an odd choice. Prob because of white people

    guessing it's a way to introduce some cultural heritage from days gone by while simultaneously promoting physical activity that doesn't involve getting blasted by a bunch of rubber balls being thrown at you

    square dancing was added to school curriculum after a campaign by Henry ford

    he thought it would get kids into wholesome music instead of jazz (racism intended)
