Today I spent a few hours at a local shelter (the one where
I volunteered and then worked prior to veterinary school) doing spays and
neuters. In 3 ½ hours of surgery time, including breaks while I was waiting for
the next patient to be prepped, I performed 9 surgeries.
To put this into perspective, I’ve done maybe 5 or 6
surgeries the past TWO MONTHS in practice.
Being in the OR is weirdly relaxing for me (unless things
are going to you-know-where). I guess it reminds me of being a kid and doing
all sorts of needlepoint and counted cross-stitch.
Anyway, it went very well and they are happy to have me come
in and help out every week. They get extra help to perform more surgeries and I
get to sharpen my surgical skills (and play with super cute kittens!)
