I want to die. I don't want to put braces again. Ya Allah 3fok o r7mtk. T_T
Note to self: Inshallah when you become a doctor, don't ever be a jerk and admit that you are wrong. We are humans. We make mistakes.
It was a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal). It was AMAZING! And less dramatic than regular surgeries- good for first timers.
At one point the doc asked us about the ligaments attached to the gall bladder and we didn’t know the answer. Ouch!
He said:" your third year medical students and you don't know that?! You took Anatomy right?"
We said:" well, we didn’t study it yet. We are in the integrated system and we didn’t take the GIT yet".
He didn’t talk ,ask not even look at us after that. LOL. Shame on us.
To tell ya the truth, if he asked me now after I took it, I still won't be able to answer him. :P
Come on dude ask about something easier. Ligaments ? Nobody remembers them :S
Anywho, we watched the surgery through monitors. He was cutting those ligaments he loves so much and cauterizing the arteries. And it was insane I wanted to yank that laparoscope from his hands and CUT! Awaa I wish I did. It seemed so easy and he cuts so slowly.
Another thing that I loved was the surgical theater. It was brand new, high tech, all touch screens stuffies and gadgets. LOVE!
G kept on nudging me and said " I want to take pics of everything. It's so amazing". I said "are you kidding me they'll kill us and think we are taking pics of the patient".
After an hour and a half, he was finally able to start pulling the gall bladder through the patient's belly button. And let me tell ya that thing looked big in the monitors. So I thought how in the world it will pass through!
But then it did, the gall bladder is out and it looked so small.
Ha? Why was he struggling ?
If it was me I would have pulled it in a sec. LOL :P
Puff. The surgery was over and off we go running to change, then go back to campus and attend a tutorial that has nothing to do with surgery but with a brain surgeon.
Ahh what a day! =]
