One day a nurse was scheduled to come and talk to us. Our teacher said, “He willantisipat a captive audience, so please be on your best behaviour. After he’s donespeaking, feel free to ask him questions - don’t be antesoshal!” His name wasBrandon. Brandon wrote the prefix “anti” on the board, and said he heard we werelearning about it this week. “This prefix is used a lot in medicine, so i’d like to show youhow useful it is to have knowledge of it!” Brandon went on to explain a few of theways doctors and nurses use the prefix “anti.” Our bodies produce more white bloodcells when we’re sick so our anntibuddy count is higher. Before shots, the skin needsto be cleaned with an antyseptk so that germs don’t get under the skin. If someoneaccidentally swallows poison, doctors and nurses give them an intidoat. Billy raisedhis hand and asked: “Is that like an antifrise for car engines?” “Not quite”, Brandonresponded. “It would be more like when you take your vaccinations, or shots, toprevent you from getting certain diseases.” Then Brandon showed us a video of howblood courses through our veins. To me it looked very frentic.
