Every student during Adult Health 1 is given a day in the OR to see what the circulator nurse and scrub person do. After getting all gowned up in fancy green scrubs, I set of for OR 12. The first procedure was a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (i.e. gallbladder removal) so I got to see everything on one of the screens. The second was an inguinal hernia. Because the incision was so small and there was the surgeon, resident and med student I was given a stool and able to peak over the drape which was nice; if not I would have been staring at heads for quite some time. While I can say the day was interesting, I do not think I will end up working in an OR after graduation.
