Veterinarians or “vets” are physicians or surgeons that treat animals. They specialize in treating disease, disorder and injury in all types of animals. There are guidelines that they have to follow, along with following and preforming certain procedures.
Possible data sources: Animal hospitals (website), talking to actually veterinarians, shelters/clinics, taking my pet to their check up at the vet’s office.
Initial thoughts: Animal hospitals can give me specific details on types of animals they work on, specific language that vets use to communicate. Talking to actual vets can help me identify the identities in the Discourse and relationships between those identities.
Working as a pharmacy technician you have to understand different types of medications, where they belong in the pharmacy, and how to properly package them when giving them to patients. You should be aware of patient’s allergies to certain medications. You should also know substitutions for medications when the first choice isn’t available or because of insurance problems.
Possible data sources: Talking to actual pharmacy technicians, or pharmacists. Visiting a pharmacy. Searching a drug data base.
Initial thoughts: Me being a pharmacy tech I know the type of lingo used in the pharmacy and the proper things to wear in a pharmacy. I have a basic understanding of how drugs need to be handled.
Being a lifeguard you have to know basic first aid and how to perform CPR if needed, and how to perform rescues if someone is drowning. Depending on where you are lifeguarding you should know wave conditions and about shark sitings if you are at a beach. Also when high or low tide is.
Possible data sources: Talking to a lifeguard. Taking a lifeguard certification test – study that test.
Initial thoughts: Talking to a lifeguard would give me specific details about how the job actually is. You are responsible for other people’s lives while on the job and need to be ready to rescue/save a life if need be.
