I want to be a surgeon

I love today very much. The class is really interesting and I don’t feel too tired today and that’s because I’m excited to wear my scrub and enter the operation theater. Yes, it’s not my first time to enter the OT but today’s going to be the last time I’m entering the OT for this semester and tomorrow’s going to be our last class for semester 6.

So, I made a ranking of my favourite rotations this semester:

1) Surgery

2) Internal medicine

3) Urology

4) Nephrology

And here’s a list of my favourite tutors from semester 1 to semester 6:

1) Dr. Sahar Garbaly(chest department)

2) Dr. Ahmad Lutfy(surgery department)

3) Prof. Dr. Atef(physiology department)

4) Dr. Yakout(specialized medicine)

5) Dr. Samir(surgery department)

6) Prof Dr. Amani(biochemistry department)

7) Dr. Azza(histology)

8) Dr. Nesreen(physiology department)

Just so you know, the above lists are clearly only my opinion so no need to make harsh judgement.

So, today during our clinical training in the surgery department, Group B (Me, Ayien, Fatimah) went to the OT and we saw a case of sub total thyroidectomy, cholecystectomy, colonic bypass and two cases of inguinal hernia. It’s really cool to watch the patient being anesthetize and he would suddenly starts to drift into unconsciousness. And then there’s this one year old baby who won’t stop crying and the nurse had to cuddle him to calm him down. The baby actually has a recurrent case of inguinal hernia and another surgery had to be done to correct it (i forgot what procedure  the doctor gonna use). And the best part is seeing our tutor, Dr. Ahmad Lutfy doing cholecystectomy by laparoscopic procedure. We cheered him on while he tried hard to separate the gall bladder from the liver by electrocoagulation. And when he did we all clapped our hands….haha cheesy Here are the pictures of the bloody gall bladder. Warning, do not look if you can’t handle blood.

the human gall bladder(opened by incision) with multiple stones in it

another clearer picture of the stones for your view,

Too bad I haven’t got any pictures of Dr.Lutfy doing the surgery. We are too excited that we forgot to take any.

And we took pictures with the surgeons as a memory of semester 6.
