So you want me to cut what?

So it's back to another week of General surgery, hard to come back after such a fun weekend. Monday was clinic day again so that's always busy, but this day I got called into the OR for a couple of cases as well. One case was incising and draining a rather large abdominal abscess, and they let me use the scalpel to make a rather large incision from which to work with. That was pretty cool. I also helped a lot with the rest of it as well. Pretty funny when you compare it to that new medical show on Sundays, Grey's Anatomy, where the new surgical interns (3 years ahead of me) are jumping with excitement just to hold a retractor. It's not exactly very accurate. Or at least the surgical interns here in Houston know what they're doing.

Today I did mainly floor work, but it was really really....... Really slow. There was nothing to do for much of the day at all. But they still didn't send us home until just recently... Oh well, food time... must eat and sleep as usual....
