So most of you will be happy that I'm not including a photo of the "AKA" that I assisted with the other day (I'll get to that in a minute). I delivered another baby via c-section, but this time there were only two of us (not three) working on the case. The surgeons are giving me more and more to do and I'm loving it! Even though I'm on this tiny island, I'm actually able to see and participate in quite a bit at this hospital--able to do more then I would in the US at this point in my medical career.
I love going into the surgical theatre on Tuesdays and Thursdays not knowing what to expect. I assist on lots of umbilical hernias and lumps and bumps (lipomas and breast lumpectomies), hysterectomies and c-sections, but yesterday I ended the day with an 'AKA' (above the knee amputation, yikes eh?). It's a sad thing to lose a limb like that, but from a surgical standpoint, it was awesome!
