I had my first clinical day on thursday. I got to follow two anesthesiologists around all day and watched a bunch of surgeries. It was tons of fun. I was right in the OR with all the surgeons, nurses, and scrub techs. Not up in some booth like you see on TV. I don't even know if OR's like that exist in real life. I got to see a neck biopsy, a gall bladder removal, and two others. And I managed to take a picture of myself with scrubs on. Normally I don't like people who take pictures with the camera in them, but I only had few options. So thank me blog readers for doing this for you. Also, notice the stethoscope, very key while trying to look like a doctor. And even better when one of the nurses mistakes you for the anesthesiologist and almost hands you some full syringes... This was probably because I looked the same age as the real anesthesiologist, who must have only been 3 years older than me. All in all that was a great day, and I can't wait for next week, so stay tuned for all the Highlights. Hi Sam, if you want you can call me and I can tell you more about surgery and stuff I cant post publicly online...
very cool wes. i did something like that in my first year of 9th grade. they always mistake you for doctors - everyone looks the same in scrubs. if you want to take a very good photo of yourself, ask me. there's a trick i know that works very well
ReplyDeleteHey Wes, nice picture. How 'bout that iPhone? I enjoyed hearing about you day at dinner last Thursday. More later, I'm so proud of you.
