Day 1- Surgical Success!

Holy cow that was a hectic but fantastic day.  Saw lots of surgeries including mastectomy, lap chole, and fibroma removal. Did 4 patient progress notes and 1 surgical consult. Day was from 9am-8pm. Not too terrible...

did some stabling during surgery and of course, the obligatory holding of retractors and cutting suture [as every medical student will do in their carriers].  its only gonna get better from here though because there are no residents at either of the hospitals i am working at. just the surgeon, sometimes another surgeon to assist him, a PA student and me. sweeeeeeeeeet :)

I have high hopes for this rotation, even though I will be working for the next 30 days straight...
