Surgery

Hey Everybody!!! Krupa and I are doing surgery at Brockton and we had the most amazing first day! We started at 7:30a and ended 5:30p (short day apparently). The docs are super nice! We followed one doc today and scrubbed in on 4 of his cases (Lap-Chole/Indirect Inguinal Hernia Repair/Rectal Prolapse Repair/SBO Repair). I got to control the camera during the lap-chole and bag the GB before removing it, helped remove an appendix during the SBO, cut a bunch of fascia, sutured, cauterized and even did a foley cath! And we're standing next to the surgeon the whole time! I love surgery! Anyone who has this rotation will definitely be getting the most out of it! Hope everyone's doing well.
