My first day in the theatres


Yesterday we had site induction. Had photograph taken for the ID, got scrubbing teaching by LL (she's so friendly). And received list of operation which my surgeon will be leading for the next three days. I was planning to revise beforehand but men can only dream. T T .
After the meeting with mustawa 01, I got so sleepy and end up sleeping- didn’t revise anything.

Today is my full day in the theatres. I did not think that I would got as much break as I had today in between the surgeries/ procedures. Alhamdulillah. got time for lunch and pray. Mr M is my surgeon or consultant (?). Oh well Idk to be honest what everyone's tile or job role accurately. My surgeon's not that talkative, but he seems to be open and doesn't mind if I ask thim anything. That’s good. Coz I'm known to ask silly questions on anything which I'm confused on. Just wait for that. 

FY1 doctor, Dr S (I just called him S)was also helpful . Had it not for him, I may not have done as much. I may not have learnt that much. He reminded me to be vocal in asking questions or asking for teaching from my consultant. I got reminded many times about scrubbing related stuff like to put my hands in area between the navel and chest - the sterile area as they call it. OD said I can ask questions because in real life no one would voluntarily tell me information. I wish I know what to ask. Right, I really need to work on that.

Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. All in all, today was good. So I watched an arthroscopy, 2 total hip replacement, and one knee replacement. I was allowed to hold the patient's leg and cutting the sutures thread, so Im taking that as a huge personal accomplishment for today lol. Thanks surgeons for trusting me on that. Cool story bro.

Improvement wise, I should know what I want to know. And the question is, how do I know that?
