Welcome!!
Well what a day...
I woke up ridiculously early at 6:30, v early today but well worth it. Today was theatre day so I had to arrive at the hospital at 7:45 to start at 8. I had to get into the theatre scrubs, basically baggy blue pjs as well as clogs, which surprisingly were comfortable and a hat that was bright yellow!!
It was so interesting being in theatre although there was a lot of hanging around. The operation I saw was a superficialisation of the upper left arm vein, I can't remember the full name!! What I found weird was that two surgeons were cutting up this man's arm and Taylor Swift was blasting on the radio in the corner!!! Also, I don't personally consider myself to be that short but I must be as the nurse got me a stool so I could see the op properly! Very funny!!!
But then there was an emergency call to the X-ray department to carry out a E.V.R.A on a patient whose aorta was v close to rupturing. This was a very exciting time although it was disappointing I was wasn't able to see the whole procedure as I had to go for lunch. What I've noticed very much is the importance of teamwork in the hospital and that the doctor is only a piece of the puzzle. As everyone is reliant on each other. It has been such wonderful experience!!!
After lunch, was our last session of the week so it was quite sad. The people I've met this week have all been so lovely and friendly- we already have a Facebook group message going!!! I was very jealous of some of them today as they were able to go in an ambulance helicopter= v cool.
Tonight, I am babysitting which if I am honest I am a tad tired for but oh well, I'm going to WIRELESS on Sunday and staying overnight in London to go shopping on Monday!! I love shopping!!
Thank you so much for reading tonight....
Lots of love
