Surgery! Oh Surgery!

Today's my first day in surgery rotation and i was asked to scrub-in for a minor surgery.
The surgeon was conversing with me earlier regarding my last rotation, which was Pedia. At the minor OR she asked me what do i want to take as a specialization.

I paused for awhile, thinking hard what to answer.

At the back of my mind, i want to say Pedia.

But as you all know, my first option was Reconstructive Surgery. So, that's what i said.

I told her "I want to be Reconstructive Surgeon."

The Surgeon smiled.

and she said "you need to make a good impression to me then"

My face turned red. I didn't knew prior that she's a reconstructive surgeon.

After that, she's been teaching me a lot of stuff.



She had another minor OR and she specifically asked me to scrub-in. She even asked me to excise the epidermoid cyst.then stitch the wound together.

SWEET!

now i'm starting to get confused.

Pedia vs. Surgery

pwede naman both. Pediatric Surgeon. ehehe

pwede... sabi nga ni bailey about neuro and cardio, "you wanna waste your talent playing one little predictable organ for the rest of your life???" hahaha.

is reconstructive surgery more like mark sloane's (mcsteamy) specialization?

forgive me for the grey's anatomy references. that's the closest thing i've got of a "medical experience". LOL

Natawa naman ako sa comment ni Bien. Pero may point siya ano. Ang mga bata, nagagawa. Ang pagbangas ng mukha, hindi kadalasan nagagawa.

Paano kung iassign ka nila sa ob-gyne next? baka magbago ulit isip mo!
