[311] These days go by
Someone must have really thought that I ought to do surgery, because as I am discovering by people's reactions when I tell them my schedule, I somehow managed to get the toughest surgical rotations at our school. I swear that they weren't really my top choices, but I can't be mad because they weren't my lowest choices either. The interesting thing is, several of my lowest choices were also termed the "easy" ones, as much as anything can be easy in surgery. I'm not completely sure what this means, other than the fact that I guess I really just want to see procedures. Which I get to do, so there's that.
There's a lot I could say about this past week but I've already said them multiple times over, so there's not really much to add. It's definitely different from anything I've ever done before. I worked in a lab but I had lots of lab exposure before. I studied in school but I've done that for most of my whole life. What I have not done is wake up really early every day and try to do things I don't know how to do in an environment where everybody watches you and judges how you do the same time...which makes life harder than usual I suppose. But I don't hate it. At this point, everything is fresh and cool and I'm not jaded yet. And I haven't been yelled at yet, so that's a plus.
