A mad rant

I understand why incoming residents are required to take the ACLS course before starting work. What I don't understand is how the folks that run these courses still get paid money for what they teach. Call me cranky, but the guy I've had both for basic life support/cpr yesterday and for advanced today flew through his presentation slides either rattling off things or skipping entire slides altogether, saying "this is in your book". And repeating things like "I just want to get us out of here" Which begs the question--what's the point of my sitting through the class if all it's going to do is tell me to read the book? I can read the book in the the comfort of my own apartment (granted, there the A/C won't be set to sub-zero levels). Oh and I won't have to do that after walking through a torrential rainstorm and therefore wearting soaked jeans throughout the freezing class.
