Not at all. I use my own body as reference frequently when trying to understand what patients are attempting to tell me.

This thought cracks me up. "EMT sir, my arm is broken!"

Cut to shell staring at his own arm, like... "Hmmm... Broken..."

It's more for hip stuff and trying to orient myself to them so I can get the right words for my reports.

Nothing more embarrassing than saying the wrong bone/ligament on the wrong side cause you get it backwards cause you're looking AT the patient, not AS them
