Surgery

Well, now I'm on my surgery rotation. And I think I have PTSD from doing general surgery with Jaffe as a med student. Anyway, I get all nervous about messing up when suturing and so I go pretty slow at it. I mean, really, the last time I sutured anything was in november of last year! And the surgeon I'm with has done this for years so I suppose I shouldn't be too concerned at how fast he can do the same task. And I have memories of interns going just as slowly as I do so I suppose I'm still on the right pace. Okay, time for breakfast then off to surgery clinic. Didactics this afternoon so hopefully that will be interesting.
