13.Some people act sick to get out of work.Others act sick to get work.For medical actors like Ted Bell,the stage is an examination room with a future doctor,nurse or others health care professional.
Mr.Bell is playing a 55-year-old patient with stomach pains that began three months ago.He is also playing a teacher.But in a way he really does teach.He helps students like Emily Tyrrell at the University of Maryland School of Nursing learn to work with patients.
In real life,Mr.Bell is a retired civil engineer.He now works as what is known as a"standardized (标准化的)patient".He stays busy working at local medical schools.About 700standardized patients work in the area.Pay starts at 17dollars an hour.It can go as high as 35dollars an hour depending on the project.
Becoming a standardized patient does not require medical knowledge.The schools provide the training.Nor does it require acting experience.In fact,standardized patient Tom Wyatt is a professional actor--yet he does not even think of his work with the students as acting.
Standardized patients spend hours training for each of their"performances".They have to remember the medical history of the person they are playing and be able to answer questions as if they were really sick.Tom Wyatt says remembering all the patients he has to play and their conditions can be difficult.
After each session (学期)the standardized patients talk to the students to discuss their performance,that is,the performance of the students.
Kurt Haspert is studying to become a nurse practitioner (护理师).He said,"It is always good to do the standardized patients because it keeps you thinking about how your thought process has to go,and how you can narrow down your differential diagnosis while you're asking questions."
The actors enjoy it too.Retired engineer Ted Bell says the students find the experience very helpful,and that makes him feel good.
