Ok, 4 liver resections down and only 4 more to go. LOL. Got to do some cool stuff ´today. that val kilmer look alike surgeon is the man to work with i think. scrubbed in once again, but this time i got it right! yay! helped that the OR nurse was a really kind and patient guy and explained everything clearly to me and that the scrub nurse was a really nice lady too. So I got to cauterize, suck, AND retract today. whoo hoo. lol. who would have thought that burning human flesh could bring so much excitement. afterwards we sliced up the right lobe of the liver. it was basically all tumor with big blocks of mozarella like stuff embedded inside. ew. wont be eating liver any time soon...or cheese for that matter. necrosis is just gross.
last night we went to a med school party...guess they are the same everywhere..100 or so students milling around eating and drinking. Had an ok time, but no sleep last night. Today i think i am taking off work early to go to a photography cafe and then playing some volleyball on the beach with some of the other students. then back at the hospital for a kidney transplant at 8pm tonight. ¶ 06:58
