During our field trip to the simulation lab, I was very surprised as to what it looked like. I have always wondered what was behind those doors and I was very excited to know that I was going to find out. The first place we saw was the occupational therapy room which was set up just like a house. There, they can practice their skills that they learn in the classroom and apply them in a simulated setting.

believed in buying the best back then, and time had proved her right. Her cream leather handbag rested on the other patient chair. Old-fashioned galoshes rested on the floor underneath, and a long black wool coat with a mink collar was draped carefully on top. If Dr. Hahn hadn’t directed her to provide the woman with several free samples, Lisa would have assumed she was in comfortable circumstances. “Yes, and it’s worse than it was before.
