I am really ridiculously tired right now. Just got home from a 13-hour day of gynecological surgeries. Was a very long day. Had a lot of fun. Could share a lot, but am more interested in eating than blogging. One highlight was when an attending asked for “muscle” to help lift a large woman’s body to the end of the OR table. I stepped up, of course. And he said, “no, I really need someone strong.” And of course I said, “yes, that’s why I stepped up….yes, I am stronger than I look….I once held an obese man’s leg in the air for a half an hour while his leg was doused in Betadine…I’m sure I can handle it.” The doctor then smiled and allowed me to help. I love the OR. More to come soon. In the meantime, enjoy some photos I took last week in the OB clinic!
