Nails & Drills (part 2)  





Ok, so this whole week I've been drooling my saliva on bad-ass surgeries, drills, hammer, chainsaw, piles of blood, excruciating trauma, new surgical and stitches technique and even the traumatologists ( u cant blame me...he got this huge , dilated pupils N DEEP BLUE EYES)

anyway....

"Huge pupil" (as what I and haneem consider to call him) really onehellofa surgeon.

Within this week, I've been amazed by his skill preparing prosthetic ligaments, drilling and penetrate knee joints with metal, stabbing ankle with what look likes a huuge nail, performing arthroscopy, and last but not least, did the cosmetically-proven meticulously-difficult intradermal stitches.

and unlike other surgeon who think that all medstudents are nerd bookworms, he actually care enough to show us up close about what he is actually doing ...(most surgeon-or even nurse- will keep us at a distance just so that we can be amazed by their ass wiggling now and then during the operation)

and unlike other surgical specialist too, this operation theatre seems fun...and...lively...You see most of the surgeon is young, so they are energetic, adrenaline-pumping, all alpha male and things, and make jokes, and even at a time flirts with the nurses. And i think they enjoy spilling the blood...muahahahahha...

not "huge pupil" though, he got a very soft voice (unmatch to that huge arms, and height), that we usually have to bend over just to lean our ear closer....or usually, we just pretend to hear what he said (and then ask my colleagues "Eh, apa dia cakap ha??")

Anyway...

"Huge pupil" is nice enough to show me up close how to do his legendary intradermal stitch. I read on the net it is rarely done , though very cosmetic..because its hard, and needs like..level 10 skills or whatever...He knew I am interested in that, that during the 2nd surgery and 3rd surgery, he offered me to do the stitches..its a great honor, but I'm not sterile you dumbass....I think he did it on purpose just for a hitch..

but then, he told me to get myself a stitching set and practice on banana...(or "potato", and then the wicked laugh), and said that I should master the skill and make him proud...(or maybe something else along that line...soft voice..hard to hear) :P

Tomorrow will be our last lesson, and if there's surgery, I might get my chance to do the stitches on real patient, not banana.....

until then..i still got 3 more bananas to be stitched..

What next?
