Hello-o-o-o-o Nurse!

I’m doing some more writing for the ESL book/cd company that I’ve done writing and voice work before. This time, the assignment is to write a bunch of stories rather than dialogues. Each story is about nurses – I guess the book is for ESL students who want to become nurses – and each one has to be about a specific subject, to whit:

Pediatrics
General medicine
General surgery
Cardiology
Dental & orthodontic
Dermatology
Geriatrics
Ear-nose-throat
Urology
Orthopedics
Obstetrics
Gynecology
Ophthalmology
Allergy
Plastic surgery
Infectious Deceases
Metabolism
Health Check-up (Radiology & clinical laboratory)
Occupational diseases
Geriatrics

Some I’ll write from the perspective of the nurse, some I’ll write from the perspective of the patient. Some first person, some third, etc. So hey – if you want to help me, and I’d appreciate it, if you have any interesting anecdotes about an encounter in any of these subject, I would love to hear it. Maybe I’ll use it if you don’t mind. I would change the names to protect the indolent (unless you didn’t want me to!). And better yet – if you know any nurses, I’d love it if you passed along my email (or point them to this blog entry) so I could ask them some questions/get their input. I don’t want to break any doctor-patient confidentiality, I just want to write some interesting little true-to-life stories.
