On Tuesday, I worked in Cardiac Pulmonary Rehab. Unfortunately, many patients did not come in for the Pulmonary class. Luckily, I was able to hook myself up to a heart monitor and watch my heartbeats. I learned what each wave meant. The nurse had taught me how to measure the distance between waves and what the numbers meant. She had also given me many worksheets to understand the patients in the Cardiac class. Now, I study these worksheets and am able to understand the abnormal contractions or blockages that affect the patients.
