Send us a Text Message.Hi there, friends!We're back with an episode featuring the much-asked for, long and patiently waited for, Taggart Notes!Credit goes to: The Taggart Notes: PDFNational Board Examination Review Book For Students of Funeral Service Education/Mortuary Science : SCIENCESDr. Thomas R. TaggartThe Taggart Notes for Science on my computer looks to only be about 60 pages long, and all of said pages are all very useful information for preparing yourself for the Science NBE, but I will be skipping the out-of-date content for you. I just ask for your continued patience because it is A LOT!In this episode I cover the following topics:Raising Vessels and Incision TypesTypes of SuturesTrocar GuidesTypes of PurgeGases that Cause DistensionInjection Types and Embalming Pressure PLEASE understand that as wonderful as his notes are, they are incredibly outdated. We're talking 2005. The man that has created the D.E.A.D Program made an updated set of study guides to replace the Taggart Notes, and if you go to the D.E.A.D website and hit Resource Materials, you can either buy one or both. Enter MEG25 and you will get a nice $25 off discount from EACH book!I have also started a YouTube Channel to coincide with this Podcast that I highly suggest following and subscribing to if you have not already! I will be offering in-depth visual aids of the various places of worship, casket construction and parts, etc.!The link to my channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@MeghanOpocenskyAs always, thank you all so much for you continued support and I immensely appreciate your continued patience! :)This upcoming week David and I intend to blow through those Conference Glossary Terms y'all enjoy so much and getting those knocked out for you. We just did Pathology AND Microbiology and I will upload them both once he sends them to me! So stay tuned, things will be getting good! I will also be revisiting Arts here and there as I want to offer visual aids for a few things, as I know David wants to do for certain Science topics- so please look at my "seasons" as really more of an "Arts" and "Sciences" divider to help with any confusion, ok?Season 1: Arts - Season 2: Sciences maybe a Season 3 for random funeral professionals to share their wisdom, practices, etc. but that's a ways away!Check out my Patreon to support my show, too; https://www.patreon.com/MeghanOpocensky?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creatorI'll be updating it later!As always, thank you all so much for you continued support!*MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN TO MY HINTS.*I CANNOT DO MUCH ELSE TO HELP YOU!I will continue looking at what to do next, I have yet to touch on still and I appreciate your continued patience!To support this show through the channel platform, please visit:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2355990/supporters/newIf you're interested in supporting the show but don't want to subscribe, my info is as follows:@MegOpocensky / $MegOpocenskySupport the Show.
