It's been a very physically draining week at the children's hospital. I feel like I'm much more tired, lightheaded, thirstier, hungrier and weaker this time around. I'm aggressively taking care of myself to meet the demands. Just the other day I spent 3 hours holding one retractor with all my strength or dual-wielding retractors in the same surgery.
The part I enjoyed the most this past week was working with attending surgeons who let you participate in a case by letting you make incisions and use electrocautery, as well as suture and get practice in subcuticular sutures. The attendings are really positive and encouraging, it's been a great time.
I'm glad I'm out of the emergency centre and that I'm back to making a difference in the operating room. So far, so good. Looking forward to vacation and graduating someday.
