Popular Post petitepedal ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Popular Post Share #5 Posted January 4, 2022 About 3 years into my job, I was sitting at the monthly info meeting for residents..cos I had to talk about something...After my announcement, I sat down next to this woman and she started talking to me..it came out garbled ..at first I thought it was me..and boom I realized she was having a stroke...she insisted we use her alert button so another resident went with me to get her upstairs (elevator) and..we got her help. To this day..I don't recall where that "she's having a stroke" knowledge came from...btw she recovered and lived for a few more years..and she was in her 90's then....knowing it was a stroke the ER docs were able give her those stroke meds that help if you get them ASAP. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 4, 2022 I'd say almost every word I know I can't remember where I learned it. Even the ones I highlighted last week are fading! Maybe the kitchen sink view of this is that it is healthy to "forget" a lot. I think it was Marilu Henner - who has a perfect memory - who made me realize a great memory is a dangerous thing from a psychological perspective. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see forgetting the time I spent thinking about that sort of thing Yep I am sure. Doesn't mean I've not some time scurrying around finding some information to include in a manuscript, but I've never spent much time pondering the ways of the world. Not my approach to life.

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 4, 2022 Better yet. People paid me for knowledge that I had no idea I knew nor where I got it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted January 4, 2022 Share #11 Posted January 4, 2022 There are too many things we learn to remember many of them. I don't remember who taught me "righty tighty, lefty loosey." I don't remember who taught how to correctly swirl liquids in an Erlenmeyer flask to mix things most effectively, but I do remember more major things like Dr. Vincent telling me to make sure I had my lead vest on when I did X-ray crystallography and Dr. Vitullo teasing me and saying, "Repeat after me, 'We tweak the fine-Y,'" while teaching me to use the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance machine to test various organic chemicals for their structures. I do remember a lot going way back, like sitting in my 2nd grade classroom in 1957 and looking at the complete alphabet of cursive capital and small letters above the blackboard while Sister Damaris taught us the "Palmer Method" of cursive writing. I liked to talk about my telescope and she nicknamed me "Mars." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted January 4, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 4, 2022 My teaching philosophy was to be a forgettable part of student learning, but an essential part of learning students. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
