Day 41:

I’m back early from work after spending the morning in the Operating Theater. I’d seen surgeries before in the US and knew that I liked being in the OR setting, so it was great to be back in that environment again! I first got to watch two c-sections which was really incredible! I’ve seen births before (both here and in the states) but it never ceases to amaze me each time! Then we got to watch a varicose vein surgery, and we saw how the vein is actually removed. Pretty cool, and made even better because the doctors were really good about explaining the process, how the problem occurs, what you do to fix it, and what exactly they were doing. Finally, we got to watch a biopsy get taken from a man’s throat tumor. This was actually the same doctor who I assisted a couple days ago with a biopsy in casualty, so it was nice to see him again, and to see a more in-depth procedure.

Tonight we’re headed off to Hampi for a weekend out of the city before the craziness of the final week of work!
