Infant Circumcision Trainer, White... What. The. Fuck.

[Lucas_Jackson]

So I’m bouncing around Amazon and stumble upon this: http://www.amazon.com/Nasco-LF00904U-Infant-Circumcision-Trainer/dp/B0083Y0W26/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_5

I can’t even imagine what the purpose of this thing is. Training? Really? As the wicked witch said, what a world, what a world.

Really.

Edit: Check the company’s website, they have all kinds of training dummies and other medical supplies, including one for infant intubation. Doctors have to learn this stuff somehow.

I would have been better if they re-purposed an old Operation game.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Jeebus, those reviews are great.

Those baby’s that they make people take home to teach them way they shouldn’t get pregnant in high school. They have ones that are “alcohol affected”. They cry more, louder and longer then the regular models.

They’ve got the pregnancy simulator for men too. Complete with features that press on the bladder and other organs, for as realistic a simulation as possible. (Does it manage to induce morning sickness as well?)

or mood swings? what about late night cravings?

Would you rather the students practiced on your son?

Am I the only one who thought that this was going to be about someone advertising for someone of the white race to train people in infant circumcision?

We used puppies.

Training? Really? You want anyone’s kid circ’ed by an untrained operative? :dubious:

I learned how by practicing on somebody’s son.

Under supervision, of course (NOT rabbinical.)

Of course. But once the dinosaurs died off, we developed models and plastic trainers so we don’t have to do that anymore.

I mean, sure, some poor boy still has to be your first real circ. But I’m awfully glad my first real IV stick wasn’t my first IV stick! (My first IV stick was on an orange, actually. Not very high tech. But then I used plastic models in Skills Lab. They weren’t great, but they didn’t flinch and pass out, either.)

I’m glad that they come in white. I don’t think I could afford the one that comes in black.

[CalMeacham]

I want to see the Alien versions. Especially the Tenctonese one.

I’m still of the mind that training on a dummy is most useful when there are no appropriate patients available to learn on. Models are rough approximations at best, tho good for rehearsing the protocols and procedures on.

See one, do one, teach one, and all that. As appropriate.
