Surgery – Day 12

Currently on hour 15 of my 24(28) hour acute care surgery trauma call shift. To be honest it’s gone by pretty quickly. We’ve had to scrub in to a couple cases, nothing too crazy, one necrotizing soft tissue infection and accident leg-slicing (the medical term) with a Skill saw. I don’t mind staying up as long as there are things to do and on trauma there has been plenty to do. We have a bit of a lull right now so I’m going to try to get some sleep before all the action starts (hopefully not).
