ER

Jul 01, 2008 00:28

Just spent ~8 hours in the ER. It was about an hour of discussing study-related materials, then it turned into shadowing. Also, and this is the coolest part -- I got to do my first suture!! -- I watched a resident do 2, as he slowly and methodically described the process. Then I did two myself, with him guiding me. It was awesome and I am proud of myself and I wish that 5th grade waldorf school teacher who told me I could never be a surgeon because I couldn't knit was there.

Every time I experience e-med, I like it more and more. I think this is a good thing.

Also, second year doesn't start for another month, so if people want to hang out with me, you'd better let me know before I go underground again!
