Yeah, it's cool to be able to use both. 2 > 1.

But what they do is they enforce the right one, not both. So they basically force the person to become worse (because it's harder for the person to use their non-dominant hand).

It's like forcing people with talent in writing and no talent in math to do math (or the opposite).
people with talent for writing still need to know math and vice versa but I can get behind the sentiment

Learning to use my right wasnt aweful though. I play a little piano and it really helped not being dominant with just one hand for that.

Sorry I only talk to harpsichord players.

Fibs. You like banjo players and accordion players too.

You know what it did mess me up on...distinguishing left from right. I have the hardest time knowing instantly which side is left vs right without pausing ans thinking about it.



Thank goodness we use terms like medial, distal, ventral, dorsal etc etc in medical. Takes some of the guess work out. @@

Look it's easy.

Just take both of your hands and make a 90 degree angle with your thumb and forefinger. The one that looks like an L is left and the backwards L is right.

Do that in front of everyone at the hospital.

Oh, that's a cool method! I didn't know that (and it works in Polish too).

Most right-handed people still CAN use their left hand, lol. Being right-handed does not make them disabled w.r.t. their left hand, ha ha.

Ok new plan.

Surgically remove right foot and then whenever you need to know which is left you'll be like "Oh yeah that's the side with a foot."
