Today is Wednesday and it is a little bit gloomy outside, especially compared to the weather we have had the past few days. The past 4 or so days have been soooooo beautiful! Sunny, 60s and 70s- so perfect!! Yesterday I had my OR day at clinicals. (Where you spend the whole day in the Operating Room) It was great! I was super nervous beforehand because I didn't know what to expect, so I slept terribly.
When I got there I was put with a super nice OR nurse and I pretty much followed her around all day. I got to see 5 surgeries, YES 5! Thats so crazy. I thought I would see like 2 or maybe 3.
The first one I saw was a hysterectomy. For non-medical people- That is the removal of a woman's uterus! I also saw a mastectomy- removal of a breast. I saw an abdominal repair on a woman who had an internal infection from a previous surgery. The other two surgeries were kind of confusing to me because they were dealing with fistulas. Fistulas are
ports for dialysis for people who have kidney failure.
Anyways- it was a great day! I wore the typical sea foam green scrubs, shoe covers, a hair guard, mask, everything! On one procedure I had to wear "lead".. the protective draping from the X-Ray machine because one of the fistulas was done under the live X-Ray machine.
Peace, Love,& Jesus,
