The Road to Surgery

Check it out, i spent all day today in an OR and just getting started on this. Feedback would be great, actually really fun writing this! Going to be much more comming. Any suggestions?

For the past while i have been doing research about med schools (domestic and overseas), residencies, specialties, lives doctors live and much much more, all with regards to... surgery! I decided after much thought and consideration that this is a viable direction for me to take my life. The main questions that came up were: HOW do i do it. CAN i do it. DO I want to do it. and lastly WHICH position do i want to do it in? (EDIT: sorry, wrong blog).

There are a million websites and forums out there with so much information about all these things and i'm doing a pretty good job getting through what I can, so this will be my "creative" outlet for that.

Finished off the day with another lap choli and a talk with the scrub nurse about the steriotype of mean scrub nurses, she kindly explained to me that med students and residents are cocky don't pay attention which is why they might sometimes get yelled at. I agree.

Really all i can say is i loved every minute of it, i wish i didnt have to leave the OR today at all.
Conclusion: Headed in the right direction.
