My surgery group rocks! We finished first again this week (4 procedures in about 4.5 hours). I wish I could have taken a picture of Randy's face when he saw that we were halfway done with cleaning up and wrapping packs when they were just finishing their castration. His eyes about popped out of his head and it looked like he'd crapped his pants too! Hilarious! He was just so offended that we'd dare finish before him - he even asked Kim if we'd sutured everything! Like we'd leave the dog with a gaping hole in his chest! Bah!
It's not like we're trying to go fast so we finish before everyone else. Our instructor even said that we were doing everything thoroughly and not making mistakes due to speed. I can't really even pinpoint the reason we seem to fly though our procedures. Maybe it's because we get together the day before and go through the procedure (but I know other groups do that too). We always divide up the procedures and know which parts we're each going to do beforehand. And we're not afraid to make mistakes. We trust the instructions we've been given and we trust each other. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how surgery is turning out.
Being a doctor just might be fun after all!
