Dummies

So this week in our skills lab we learned about changing dressings on wounds and catheterization. Here's the problem with putting in a catheter on a dummy...dummies are not exactly anatomically correct. The male and female anatomy on a dummy is somewhat out of proportion (i.e. the target is MUCH larger than it would be in real life). I have a feeling when any of us get the opportunity to actually put in a catheter, we will all be slightly surprised at how much more difficult it is in real life (at least I realize the hole it goes in really isn't a 1/2 inch in diameter, right?).
