Theatre

Hi guys,

I was recently given the pleasure of getting to watch a patient's surgery from the ward I am placed on. I was able to treat him both pre and post-op. Getting to see his cardiac surgery and follow up with him helped to put everything into perspective for me. From the amount of trauma that the patient is put under to the incredible amount of blood loss that he underwent I was amazed with the whole situation. It was a great learning experience that I suggest everyone who can get the chance to witness a surgery to do it. Makes understanding what the patient is going through much easier.
