sooooo kinda a random question but
if someone wanted to learn practical medical stuff
not just first aid but more than that, like anatomy and medicine and emergency stuff
but med school is like a total no-go
where do you even start?
because just googling randomly is not really helpful

especially because I think I need vet stuff too
like animal doctor vets

I mean theres gotta be a fast way to learn this stuff right?

[Normally she would assume this is for some kind of role. You're an actor, clearly, Leonardo, that's what this post is for.

But no, she knows better and she knows how things tend to be as of late - either way, her answer is still the same.]


Paramedics are usually a good source, in my opinion. Not as time-intensive or snobby as learning how to be a doctor, but they still need to understand giving meds, the short hand language, and immediate first aid. There are usually classes you can take if you want to get certified for these sorts of things, or you can buy one dinner and pick their brain for information. They don't usually make much so they tend to be grateful for the free meal.

[At least in her experience.]

Is med school a no-go for money reasons?

Were we not in a crisis, I'd volunteer to give lessons. As we are in a crisis, I can still do them just not regularly.

[He'd question what brought this interest on, but with everything that's happened recently the answer is pretty fucking obvious.]

That's not a bad idea.
