First Day of Surgery

Today was my first day of my surgery rotation , and it was ok... we had orientation this morning. Then, I went to surgery clinic and saw a couple of patients/ presented them to the residents. I met Dr. T and he asked a bunch of questions that I didn't know the answers to... saw a couple of EGDs. And, I got to put in a chest tube!!! Yea!!! :)
All in all, the day was fine, although it is VERY stressful to start a new rotation with new people and new expectations.
Now I must learn all about melanomas, gastrojejunostomies, and the levels of the neck, then get to bed so I can be at the hospital by 5am tomorrow!
