DENVER -- Christina Cass has spent the last 25 years of her career in and out of hospital gowns. She’s been poked and prodded, diagnosed with dozens of different ailments from lung cancer to Alzheimer’s disease, and treated for her knee and for injuries after a car accident.
Tomorrow, she’ll happily do it again.
That’s because Cass is actually in good health. The hospital rooms and exam tables are just mockups in a simulation center. And the “doctors” coming to visit her are medical students who know that Cass is actually the one who is doing the analysis, helping to assess their words and actions for the duration of the “exam.”
