A final field trip of the year took 30 first graders from St. Anthony’s School on a two-hour fexursion to Doctors Hospital Manteca recently where they learned first-hand the inner workings of the medical facility.While meeting in the Conference Room, they were given a tour of the hospital through the eyes of the medical staff from the many departments from cardio-pulmonary to surgery and the emergency room.The first graders had been studying the human body and health in class with instructors hoping a day at the hospital would expand their understanding of the subjects.Male nurse Chris Ake told the children, “Yes, even guys like nursing.” He even brought a Dynamap to take their blood pressure and see how much oxygen was circulating in their blood. He had a great explanation for what all that meant at their six and seven year old levels.
