Day #1 of Surgery

   Today was the orientation for my surgery clerkship, and while getting introduced to the OR was exciting, I learned two very important lessons:

1.  I don't know anything

2. Get comfortable with looking like an idiot

  Tomorrow is my first real day, and I start on trauma surgery.  I have to report at 5:45am, and that's only because I don't have any patients yet.  From now on, I'll be reporting at about 5am everyday, six days a week.  Here we go!

  3. Good luck!! Trauma can be a little low in OR time but the resuscitations are super cool. Have fun, and practice cutting clothes off fast! ;)
