just a tidbit

so yesterday i got to put a chest drain in by myself in one of my patients who had a pneumothorax (air outside his lung, causing it to collapse). i was under supervision of course, but it was my first full procedure by myself. it was cool. its always funny how its always at the end of a term that you get to do cool stuff. i think i just wasn't proactive enough. the thing i'm gonna work on next is my knots for suturing and theatre. i want to get good at that, so that when i do surgery/ obstetrics that i feel confident in that. so yesterday was busy, but the weekend is almost finished and this was a highlight for me... cool huh?
