OR

Wednesdays are dedicated to the operating room. Since I work two 24-hour shifts per week, I average about 1-2 Wednesdays a month. There is always a chance I can get pulled into the operating room any other day of the week (and it has happened) but there is no clinic on Wednesdays, just OR time.

Needless to say, I love the OR. Luckily, the chief of orthopedic surgery in my hospital is a very kind and compassionate man. He is easy to be around. He doesn't yell or scream or throw things (yes, I have worked with other surgeons who do all that) so working with this surgeon is refreshing. He enjoys teaching & is very patient. So, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm not sure what cases are on the schedule...but I'll give a full report afterwards!
