future in surgery

today i got to do a whole operation, skin to skin. it rocked!! it was only a lipoma excision and i was a little scared because the attending was paying moderate amounts of attention but really talking about the new red pickup he just ordered. i think he has more faith in me than i do . . . anyhow it was awesome and totally made my day. in fact, every time i get to do something cool in the OR it makes my day. it's cool to think some lady is walking around with a scar i helped make (small and nice, btw).


which makes me think i'll end up doing surgery. if only i can wrap my brain around the lifestyle implications . . .
