surgery

Last Friday we had duty at the Surgery Department. I was able to scrub in for the first time. Yahoo! =) I'll never have that first scrub again. And I held the amputated toe of the poor guy who had diabetes. Other than that, I did nothing. I was just given the opportunity to experience it by the doctor who performed the surgery. After that, we observed an ExLap. The doctors were considering a ruptured appendix kase, pero it turned out na suppurative pa lng sya. Nahirapan sila ibalik ulit ung mga lamang loob nung bata kase hindi magkasya sa loob! Gising kase ng gising ung pasyente e! imagine waking up in the middle of surgery and your guts are all over the place! Sino bang hindi magrereklamo sa lagay. Our last procedure to observe was a simple appendectomy which turned out to be not so simple pala.... retrograde kase ung appendix nung mama. haha! Kaka-awa naman ung surgeon namin... he thought he could get out the specimen in 20 minutes but it turned out to be more than an hour. Wahaha.

We were also able to see a person who's anus was stitched shut na lng kase he had rectal adenocarcinoma. Poor guy. He'll forever pass gas and feces from his side. Wow moment yun para sa amin nung classmate ko who saw it. Yung isa naman may colostomy and ileostomy sa may tiyan kase nagka-intussusception. Akala nila ruptured appendix lang but no, mas malala pa pla.

Ang cool sa surgery. =)
