So, today I did the Primary Hospital activity. I had one child be a patient, another be a lead nurse (to assist me in leading the song), one to be the EMT (to drive the patient in) and one to be a triage nurse (to decide whether to send the patient home, or what)
They sang the song that the patient was and then we decided according to 5 characteristics what to do with the patient. I was the doctor and I had a chart for each song. We decided what the symptoms were (too quiet, didn't know words, not clear enough, etc.) Then assigned it. If it was good, we went through the discharge checklist which had volume, melody, words, spirit, watching. If it just needed a little help, it went to the day clinic for a checkup. If it really needed some work, it went to the emergency room for a lot of help. Next week I plan on finishing the assessment and starting the healing process. It worked pretty well. I think the kids were just barely getting into it by the time I was finished with singing time, so hopefully next week will go a little better.
