Day 2 was great. It was a slow night in the O.R., so I only got to scrub 2 surgeries. Both great experiences and I learned a lot. I got to wear lead for the first time. It wasn't as heavy or hot as I thought that it would be. Still about 35 extra lbs. Good thing I lost some of that prior to this gig. I am hoping to scrub a total knee replacement today ... we will see.
It is a privilege and totally cool to be able to walk behind these doors. In the inside ring of the O.R., you can see into all the rooms. I can go into any O.R. during any surgery to observe if I am not scrubbing that case. I am grateful and don't take it for granted. I pray for all of my patients at the beginning of each procedure. I hope I will never forget that these are people who are loved by others and are God's children. This was especially true for a very young patient I had. I kept thinking of how trusting this little one's parents are of me, who they don't even know.
