I went to school to be a Medical Assistant like 15 years ago.  Just before graduating, I found out I was preggers with my daughter.  After having her, I got really sick and never even registered and therefore never went into the field. I really liked the studies and graduated with honors, but have forgotten much of what I learned.  Also, medical procedures and such change so much over time that I really don’t know much about it anymore…

Does anyone out there know what exactly a spirometer is?? I didn’t either until today…

A spirometer is a tool that doctor’s use to measure how much air is actually inhaled and exhaled through the lungs.   They are really helpful when treating patients with COPD and/or asthma and other lung conditions.

Medical procedures and instruments and such still interest me and I love to learn new things about the medical field!!!

Carry On =)
